</pre></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.9.3.25.5"><h2>Description</h2><p>
The command <code class="command">ALTER PUBLICATION</code> can change the attributes
of a publication.
</p><p>
The first three variants change which tables are part of the publication.
The <code class="literal">SET TABLE</code> clause will replace the list of tables in
the publication with the specified one. The <code class="literal">ADD TABLE</code>
and <code class="literal">DROP TABLE</code> clauses will add and remove one or more
tables from the publication. Note that adding tables to a publication that
is already subscribed to will require a <code class="literal">ALTER SUBSCRIPTION
... REFRESH PUBLICATION</code> action on the subscribing side in order
to become effective.
</p><p>
The fourth variant of this command listed in the synopsis can change
all of the publication properties specified in
<a class="xref" href="sql-createpublication.html" title="CREATE PUBLICATION"><span class="refentrytitle">CREATE PUBLICATION</span></a>. Properties not mentioned in the
command retain their previous settings.
</p><p>
The remaining variants change the owner and the name of the publication.
</p><p>
You must own the publication to use <code class="command">ALTER PUBLICATION</code>.
Adding a table to a publication additionally requires owning that table.
To alter the owner, you must also be a direct or indirect member of the new
owning role. The new owner must have <code class="literal">CREATE</code> privilege on
the database. Also, the new owner of a <code class="literal">FOR ALL TABLES</code>
publication must be a superuser. However, a superuser can change the
ownership of a publication regardless of these restrictions.

The name of an existing publication whose definition is to be altered.
</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><em class="replaceable"><code>table_name</code></em></span></dt><dd><p>
Name of an existing table. If <code class="literal">ONLY</code> is specified before the
table name, only that table is affected. If <code class="literal">ONLY</code> is not
specified, the table and all its descendant tables (if any) are
affected. Optionally, <code class="literal">*</code> can be specified after the table
name to explicitly indicate that descendant tables are included.
</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="literal">SET ( <em class="replaceable"><code>publication_parameter</code></em> [= <em class="replaceable"><code>value</code></em>] [, ... ] )</code></span></dt><dd><p>
