+ <code class="command">ALTER DATABASE</code> changes the attributes
+ of a database.
+ </p><p>
+ The first form changes certain per-database settings. (See below for
+ details.) Only the database owner or a superuser can change these settings.
+ </p><p>
+ The second form changes the name of the database. Only the database
+ owner or a superuser can rename a database; non-superuser owners must
+ also have the
+ <code class="literal">CREATEDB</code> privilege. The current database cannot
+ be renamed. (Connect to a different database if you need to do
+ that.)
+ </p><p>
+ The third form changes the owner of the database.
+ To alter the owner, you must own the database and also be a direct or
+ indirect member of the new owning role, and you must have the
+ <code class="literal">CREATEDB</code> privilege.
+ (Note that superusers have all these privileges automatically.)
+ </p><p>
+ The fourth form changes the default tablespace of the database.
+ Only the database owner or a superuser can do this; you must also have
+ create privilege for the new tablespace.
+ This command physically moves any tables or indexes in the database's old
+ default tablespace to the new tablespace. The new default tablespace
+ must be empty for this database, and no one can be connected to
+ the database. Tables and indexes in non-default tablespaces are
+ unaffected.
+ </p><p>
+ The remaining forms change the session default for a run-time
+ configuration variable for a <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span>
+ database. Whenever a new session is subsequently started in that
+ database, the specified value becomes the session default value.
+ The database-specific default overrides whatever setting is present
+ in <code class="filename">postgresql.conf</code> or has been received from the
+ <code class="command">postgres</code> command line. Only the database
+ owner or a superuser can change the session defaults for a
+ database. Certain variables cannot be set this way, or can only be
+ set by a superuser.

+ Set this database's session default for the specified configuration
+ parameter to the given value. If
+ <em class="replaceable"><code>value</code></em> is <code class="literal">DEFAULT</code>
+ or, equivalently, <code class="literal">RESET</code> is used, the
+ database-specific setting is removed, so the system-wide default
+ setting will be inherited in new sessions. Use <code class="literal">RESET
+ ALL</code> to clear all database-specific settings.
+ <code class="literal">SET FROM CURRENT</code> saves the session's current value of
+ the parameter as the database-specific value.

+ It is also possible to tie a session default to a specific role
+ rather than to a database; see

+ Role-specific settings override database-specific
