ALTER OPERATOR
ALTER OPERATOR — change the definition of an operator
Synopsis
ALTER OPERATORname
( {left_type
| NONE } , {right_type
| NONE } ) OWNER TO {new_owner
| CURRENT_USER | SESSION_USER } ALTER OPERATORname
( {left_type
| NONE } , {right_type
| NONE } ) SET SCHEMAnew_schema
Description
ALTER OPERATOR
changes the definition of an operator. The only currently available functionality is to change the owner of the operator.
You must own the operator to use ALTER OPERATOR
. 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's schema. (These restrictions enforce that altering the owner doesn't do anything you couldn't do by dropping and recreating the operator. However, a superuser can alter ownership of any operator anyway.)
Parameters
name
The name (optionally schema-qualified) of an existing operator.
left_type
The data type of the operator's left operand; write
NONE
if the operator has no left operand.right_type
The data type of the operator's right operand; write
NONE
if the operator has no right operand.new_owner
The new owner of the operator.
new_schema
The new schema for the operator.
Examples
Change the owner of a custom operator a @@ b
for type text
:
ALTER OPERATOR @@ (text, text) OWNER TO joe;
Compatibility
There is no ALTER OPERATOR
statement in the SQL standard.
