ALTER SERVER(7)          PostgreSQL 16.2 Documentation         ALTER SERVER(7)

NAME
       ALTER_SERVER - change the definition of a foreign server

SYNOPSIS
       ALTER SERVER name [ VERSION 'new_version' ]
           [ OPTIONS ( [ ADD | SET | DROP ] option ['value'] [, ... ] ) ]
       ALTER SERVER name OWNER TO { new_owner | CURRENT_ROLE | CURRENT_USER | SESSION_USER }
       ALTER SERVER name RENAME TO new_name

DESCRIPTION
       ALTER SERVER changes the definition of a foreign server. The first form
       changes the server version string or the generic options of the server
       (at least one clause is required). The second form changes the owner of
       the server.

       To alter the server you must be the owner of the server. Additionally
       to alter the owner, you must be able to SET ROLE to the new owning
       role, and you must have USAGE privilege on the server's foreign-data
       wrapper. (Note that superusers satisfy all these criteria
       automatically.)

PARAMETERS
       name
           The name of an existing server.

       new_version
           New server version.

       OPTIONS ( [ ADD | SET | DROP ] option ['value'] [, ... ] )
           Change options for the server.  ADD, SET, and DROP specify the
           action to be performed.  ADD is assumed if no operation is
           explicitly specified. Option names must be unique; names and values
           are also validated using the server's foreign-data wrapper library.

       new_owner
           The user name of the new owner of the foreign server.

       new_name
           The new name for the foreign server.

EXAMPLES
       Alter server foo, add connection options:

           ALTER SERVER foo OPTIONS (host 'foo', dbname 'foodb');

       Alter server foo, change version, change host option:

           ALTER SERVER foo VERSION '8.4' OPTIONS (SET host 'baz');

COMPATIBILITY
       ALTER SERVER conforms to ISO/IEC 9075-9 (SQL/MED). The OWNER TO and
       RENAME forms are PostgreSQL extensions.
