Dear all,

When altering table ownership with

ALTER TABLE table OWNER TO new owner

is there any way to have PostgreSQL 7.1.3 (the version I use) recursively
change
ownership of all indexes, triggers, and metadata related to or implicitly
created by
the renamed table? If not, then what is the solution? What I do now is (1) drop
indexes, (2) rename the table to table_old, (3) create a new table with desired
owner, (4) insert into table select * from table_old, and finally (5) drop
table table_old.
There has got to be an easier way.

Paul
