ALTER OPERATOR CLASS(7) PostgreSQL 16.7 Documentation 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 new_name
ALTER OPERATOR CLASS name USING index_method
OWNER TO { new_owner | CURRENT_ROLE | CURRENT_USER | SESSION_USER }
ALTER OPERATOR CLASS name USING index_method
SET SCHEMA new_schema
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 be able to SET ROLE to the new owning role, and
that role must have CREATE privilege on the operator class's schema.
(These restrictions 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

class.

new_name
The new name of the operator class.
new_owner
The new owner of the operator class.
