ALTER OPERATOR

    Description

    changes the definition of an operator. The only currently available functionality is to change the owner of the operator.

    You must own the operator to use ALTER OPERATOR. To alter the owner, you must also be a direct or indirect member of the new owning role, and that role must have CREATE privilege on the operator’s schema. (These restrictions enforce that altering the owner does not do anything you could not do by dropping and recreating the operator. However, a superuser can alter ownership of any operator anyway.)

    name

    The name (optionally schema-qualified) of an existing operator.

    The data type of the operator’s left operand; write if the operator has no left operand.

    righttype

    The data type of the operator’s right operand; write NONE if the operator has no right operand.

    newowner

    Examples

    Change the owner of a custom operator a @@ b for type :

    1. ALTER OPERATOR @@ (text, text) OWNER TO joe;

    There is no ALTER``OPERATOR statement in the SQL standard.
