ALTER OPERATOR CLASS

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_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.

To use ALTER OPERATOR CLASS, you must own the operator class. To change 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 changing the owner cannot do anything you couldn't do by dropping and recreating the operator class. However, a superuser can change ownership of any operator class).

Parameters

name

The name (optionally schema-qualified) of an existing operator class.

index_method

The name of the index method this operator class serves.

new_name

The new name of the operator class.

new_owner

The new owner of the operator class.

new_schema

The new schema for the operator class.
