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



NAME
       ALTER OPERATOR CLASS - change the definition of an operator class


SYNOPSIS
       ALTER OPERATOR CLASS name USING index_method RENAME TO newname
       ALTER OPERATOR CLASS name USING index_method OWNER TO newowner


DESCRIPTION
       ALTER OPERATOR CLASS changes the definition of an operator class.

       You  must  own the operator class to use ALTER OPERATOR CLASS.  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 class's schema.  (These  restric-
       tions  enforce that altering the owner doesn't do anything you couldn't do by dropping and recreating the operator class.
       However, a superuser can alter ownership of any operator class anyway.)

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

       index_method
              The name of the index method this operator class is for.

       newname
              The new name of the operator class.

       newowner
              The new owner of the operator class.

COMPATIBILITY
       There is no ALTER OPERATOR CLASS statement in the SQL standard.
