ALTER TABLESPACE
Name
ALTER TABLESPACE -- change the definition
of a tablespace
Synopsis
ALTER TABLESPACE name RENAME TO newname
ALTER TABLESPACE name OWNER TO newowner
Description
ALTER TABLESPACE changes the
definition of a tablespace.
You must own the tablespace to use ALTER
TABLESPACE. To alter the owner, you must also be a direct or
indirect member of the new owning role. (Note that superusers
have these privileges automatically.)
Parameters
- name
-
The name of an existing tablespace.
- newname
-
The new name of the tablespace. The new name cannot
begin with pg_, as such names are
reserved for system tablespaces.
- newowner
-
The new owner of the tablespace.
Examples
Rename tablespace index_space to
fast_raid:
ALTER TABLESPACE index_space RENAME TO fast_raid;
Change the owner of tablespace index_space:
ALTER TABLESPACE index_space OWNER TO mary;
Compatibility
There is no ALTER TABLESPACE
statement in the SQL standard.
