Try:
(a) granting permissions to new owner
(b) update pg_class set relowner = $new_owner where relname = '$table_name'
(c) update pg_type set typowner = $new_owner where typname = '$table_name'

Hope this works.

I've just tried this, and it seems to work, but if anyone has any better ideas,
could you please let us know.

Thanks

Pete
