ALTER CONVERSION
Name
ALTER CONVERSION -- change the definition
of a conversion
Synopsis
ALTER CONVERSION name RENAME TO new_name
ALTER CONVERSION name OWNER TO new_owner
Description
ALTER CONVERSION changes the
definition of a conversion.
You must own the conversion to use ALTER
CONVERSION. 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 conversion's
schema. (These restrictions enforce that altering the owner
doesn't do anything you couldn't do by dropping and recreating
the conversion. However, a superuser can alter ownership of any
conversion anyway.)
Parameters
- name
-
The name (optionally schema-qualified) of an existing
conversion.
- new_name
-
The new name of the conversion.
- new_owner
-
The new owner of the conversion.
Examples
To rename the conversion iso_8859_1_to_utf8 to latin1_to_unicode:
ALTER CONVERSION iso_8859_1_to_utf8 RENAME TO latin1_to_unicode;
To change the owner of the conversion iso_8859_1_to_utf8 to joe:
ALTER CONVERSION iso_8859_1_to_utf8 OWNER TO joe;
Compatibility
There is no ALTER CONVERSION
statement in the SQL standard.
