ALTER SCHEMA(7)          PostgreSQL 16.2 Documentation         ALTER SCHEMA(7)

NAME
       ALTER_SCHEMA - change the definition of a schema

SYNOPSIS
       ALTER SCHEMA name RENAME TO new_name
       ALTER SCHEMA name OWNER TO { new_owner | CURRENT_ROLE | CURRENT_USER | SESSION_USER }

DESCRIPTION
       ALTER SCHEMA changes the definition of a schema.

       You must own the schema to use ALTER SCHEMA. To rename a schema you
       must also have the CREATE privilege for the database. To alter the
       owner, you must be able to SET ROLE to the new owning role, and that
       role must have the CREATE privilege for the database. (Note that
       superusers have all these privileges automatically.)

PARAMETERS
       name
           The name of an existing schema.

       new_name
           The new name of the schema. The new name cannot begin with pg_, as
           such names are reserved for system schemas.

       new_owner
           The new owner of the schema.

COMPATIBILITY
       There is no ALTER SCHEMA statement in the SQL standard.
