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.
