ALTER OPERATOR
Name
ALTER OPERATOR -- change the definition of an operator
Synopsis
ALTER OPERATOR name ( { lefttype | NONE } , { righttype | NONE } ) OWNER TO newownerDescription
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.
- lefttype
The data type of the operator's left operand; write
NONE if the operator has no left operand.
- righttype
The data type of the operator's right operand; write
NONE if the operator has no right operand.
- newowner
The new owner of 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.
