I did as follows:

iamunix=# \c postgres
SSL connection (cipher: DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA, bits: 256)
You are now connected to database "postgres" as user "carlos".
postgres=# REASSIGN OWNED BY carlos TO lauren;
REASSIGN OWNED
postgres=# DROP OWNED BY carlos;
DROP OWNED

iamunix=# \d
List of relations
Schema | Name | Type | Owner
--------+------------------+----------+--------
public | dept | table | carlos
public | dept_id_seq | sequence | carlos
public | employees | table | carlos
public | employees_id_seq | sequence | carlos
public | manager_lookup | view | carlos
public | managers | table | carlos
public | managers_id_seq | sequence | carlos

That didn't work for some reason but mostly because I don't follow the
concept of what's being done. I've now since changed the database role
owner back to Carlos so now 'Carlos' owns both the database and all of
it's tables. Can we start fresh and assume I just got the request to
change the specified database and all of it's tables, sequences,
views, & triggers to Lauren?
