ALTER
SCHEMA
Name
ALTER SCHEMA -- change the definition of a
schema
Synopsis
ALTER SCHEMA name RENAME TO newname
ALTER SCHEMA name OWNER TO newowner
Description
ALTER SCHEMA changes the definition
of a schema.
You must own the schema to use ALTER
SCHEMA. To rename a schema you must also have the CREATE privilege for the database. To alter the
owner, you must also be a direct or indirect member of the new
owning role, and you must have the CREATE privilege for the database. (Note that
superusers have all these privileges automatically.)
Parameters
- name
-
The name of an existing schema.
- newname
-
The new name of the schema. The new name cannot begin
with pg_, as such names are
reserved for system schemas.
- newowner
-
The new owner of the schema.
Compatibility
There is no ALTER SCHEMA statement in
the SQL standard.
