It should have read: ALTER TABLE (usera_table) OWNER TO USERB; Also, I know that only the Superuser/Owner can make ownership changes. Just curious why database owner cannot. Possibly because the role of the database owner is to perform backups and not modify the tables? Curious if there is a setting where this role can be modified/changed. Thank you, Mike Some of the text in the SQL Statement got cut off because it used HTML. It should have read:

Don't have access to super user. Database/table owner was USERA. Superuser changed database owner to USERB. USERB cannot perform table ownership change: ALTER TABLE OWNER TO USERB; While this seems like it's on purpose, was curious if there was a way around it?

Don’t have access to super user.

Database/table owner was USERA.
Superuser changed database owner to USERB.

USERB cannot perform table ownership change:
ALTER TABLE OWNER TO USERB;

While this seems like it’s on purpose, was curious if there was a way around it?

When you create the a new user from the command shell I think it should be a capital -P not -p. -p port --port port -P password --pwprompt Chris Great tutorial by the way. When you create the a new user from the command shell I think it should be a capital -P not -p.

-p port
–port port

-P password
–pwprompt
