ALTER OPERATOR CLASS(7)  PostgreSQL 16.2 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
       name
           The name (optionally schema-qualified) of an existing operator
           class.

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

       new_name
           The new name of the operator class.

       new_owner
           The new owner of the operator class.

       new_schema
           The new schema for the operator class.

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