+
+ <para>
+ <command>ALTER MATERIALIZED VIEW</command> changes various auxiliary
+ properties of an existing materialized view.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ You must own the materialized view to use <command>ALTER MATERIALIZED
+ VIEW</command>. To change a materialized view's schema, you must also have
+ <literal>CREATE</literal> privilege on the new schema.
+ To alter the owner, you must also be a direct or indirect member of the new
+ owning role, and that role must have <literal>CREATE</literal> privilege on
+ the materialized view's schema. (These restrictions enforce that altering
+ the owner doesn't do anything you couldn't do by dropping and recreating the
+ materialized view. However, a superuser can alter ownership of any view
+ anyway.)
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The statement subforms and actions available for
+ <command>ALTER MATERIALIZED VIEW</command> are a subset of those available
+ for <command>ALTER TABLE</command>, and have the same meaning when used for
+ materialized views. See the descriptions for <xref linkend="sql-altertable"/>
+ for details.
