ALTER SCHEMA

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_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 also be a direct or indirect member of the new owning role, and you 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.
