ALTER OPERATOR(7)                                         SQL Commands                                         ALTER OPERATOR(7)



NAME
       ALTER OPERATOR - change the definition of an operator


SYNOPSIS
       ALTER OPERATOR name ( { lefttype | NONE } , { righttype | NONE } ) OWNER TO newowner


DESCRIPTION
       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.
