NAME

ALTER_OPERATOR_CLASS - change the definition of an operator class

SYNOPSIS

ALTER OPERATOR CLASS name USING index_method


    RENAME TO new_name
ALTER OPERATOR CLASS name USING index_method


    OWNER TO { new_owner | CURRENT_ROLE | CURRENT_USER | SESSION_USER }
ALTER OPERATOR CLASS name USING index_method


    SET SCHEMA new_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

There is no ALTER OPERATOR CLASS statement in the SQL standard.
