ALTER CONVERSION(7) PostgreSQL 16.7 Documentation ALTER CONVERSION(7)
NAME
ALTER_CONVERSION - change the definition of a conversion
SYNOPSIS
ALTER CONVERSION name RENAME TO new_name
ALTER CONVERSION name OWNER TO { new_owner | CURRENT_ROLE | CURRENT_USER | SESSION_USER }
ALTER CONVERSION name SET SCHEMA new_schema
DESCRIPTION
ALTER CONVERSION changes the definition of a conversion.
You must own the conversion to use ALTER CONVERSION. To alter the
owner, you must be able to SET ROLE to 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.
new_schema
The new schema for 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.
