NAME#

ALTER_OPERATOR_CLASS - change the definition of an operator class

SYNOPSIS#

ALTER OPERATOR CLASS \nname\n USING \nindex_method\n
\n
    RENAME TO \nnew_name\n
ALTER OPERATOR CLASS \nname\n USING \nindex_method\n
\n
    OWNER TO { \nnew_owner\n | CURRENT_ROLE | CURRENT_USER | SESSION_USER }
ALTER OPERATOR CLASS \nname\n USING \nindex_method\n
\n
    SET SCHEMA \nnew_schema

DESCRIPTION#

ALTER OPERATOR CLASS changes the definition of an operator class.

You must own the operator class to use ALTER OPERATOR CLASS. To alter the owner, you must be able to SET ROLE to the new owning role, and that role must have CREATE privilege on the operator class's schema. (These restrictions enforce that altering the owner doesn't do anything you couldn't do by dropping and recreating the operator class. However, a superuser can alter ownership of any operator class anyway.)

PARAMETERS#

name

index_method

new_name

new_owner

new_schema

COMPATIBILITY#
