DESCRIPTION
       ALTER ROUTINE changes the definition of a routine, which can be an
       aggregate function, a normal function, or a procedure. See under ALTER
       AGGREGATE (ALTER_AGGREGATE(7)), ALTER FUNCTION (ALTER_FUNCTION(7)), and
       ALTER PROCEDURE (ALTER_PROCEDURE(7)) for the description of the
       parameters, more examples, and further details.

EXAMPLES
       To rename the routine foo for type integer to foobar:

           ALTER ROUTINE foo(integer) RENAME TO foobar;

       This command will work independent of whether foo is an aggregate,
       function, or procedure.

COMPATIBILITY
       This statement is partially compatible with the ALTER ROUTINE statement
       in the SQL standard. See under ALTER FUNCTION (ALTER_FUNCTION(7)) and
       ALTER PROCEDURE (ALTER_PROCEDURE(7)) for more details. Allowing routine
       names to refer to aggregate functions is a PostgreSQL extension.

SEE ALSO
       ALTER AGGREGATE (ALTER_AGGREGATE(7)), ALTER FUNCTION
       (ALTER_FUNCTION(7)), ALTER PROCEDURE (ALTER_PROCEDURE(7)), DROP ROUTINE
       (DROP_ROUTINE(7))

       Note that there is no CREATE ROUTINE command.
