ALTER
OPERATOR CLASS
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
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
also be a direct or indirect member of 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
-
The name (optionally schema-qualified) of an existing
operator class.
- index_method
-
The name of the index method this operator class is
for.
- new_name
-
The new name of the operator class.
- new_owner
-
The new owner of the operator class.
Compatibility
There is no ALTER OPERATOR CLASS
statement in the SQL standard.
