.SH "NAME"
ALTER_PUBLICATION \- change the definition of a publication
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
.nf
ALTER PUBLICATION \fIname\fR ADD TABLE [ ONLY ] \fItable_name\fR [ * ] [, \&.\&.\&.]
ALTER PUBLICATION \fIname\fR SET TABLE [ ONLY ] \fItable_name\fR [ * ] [, \&.\&.\&.]
ALTER PUBLICATION \fIname\fR DROP TABLE [ ONLY ] \fItable_name\fR [ * ] [, \&.\&.\&.]

ALTER PUBLICATION \fIname\fR OWNER TO { \fInew_owner\fR | CURRENT_USER | SESSION_USER }
ALTER PUBLICATION \fIname\fR RENAME TO \fInew_name\fR
.fi
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
The command
\fBALTER PUBLICATION\fR
can change the attributes of a publication\&.
.PP
The first three variants change which tables are part of the publication\&. The
SET TABLE
clause will replace the list of tables in the publication with the specified one\&. The
ADD TABLE
and
DROP TABLE
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
ALTER SUBSCRIPTION \&.\&.\&. REFRESH PUBLICATION
action on the subscribing side in order to become effective\&.
.PP
The fourth variant of this command listed in the synopsis can change all of the publication properties specified in
CREATE PUBLICATION (\fBCREATE_PUBLICATION\fR(7))\&. Properties not mentioned in the command retain their previous settings\&.
.PP
The remaining variants change the owner and the name of the publication\&.
.PP
You must own the publication to use
\fBALTER PUBLICATION\fR\&. 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
CREATE
privilege on the database\&. Also, the new owner of a
FOR ALL TABLES
publication must be a superuser\&. However, a superuser can change the ownership of a publication regardless of these restrictions\&.
.SH "PARAMETERS"
.PP
\fIname\fR
.RS 4
The name of an existing publication whose definition is to be altered\&.
.RE
.PP
\fItable_name\fR
.RS 4
Name of an existing table\&. If
ONLY
is specified before the table name, only that table is affected\&. If
ONLY
is not specified, the table and all its descendant tables (if any) are affected\&. Optionally,
*
can be specified after the table name to explicitly indicate that descendant tables are included\&.
.RE
.PP
SET ( \fIpublication_parameter\fR [= \fIvalue\fR] [, \&.\&.\&. ] )
.RS 4
This clause alters publication parameters originally set by
CREATE PUBLICATION (\fBCREATE_PUBLICATION\fR(7))\&. See there for more information\&.
.RE
.PP
\fInew_owner\fR
.RS 4
The user name of the new owner of the publication\&.
.RE
.PP
\fInew_name\fR
.RS 4
The new name for the publication\&.
.RE
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.PP
Change the publication to publish only deletes and updates:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
ALTER PUBLICATION noinsert SET (publish = \*(Aqupdate, delete\*(Aq);
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.PP
Add some tables to the publication:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
ALTER PUBLICATION mypublication ADD TABLE users, departments;
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.SH "COMPATIBILITY"
.PP
\fBALTER PUBLICATION\fR
is a
PostgreSQL
extension\&.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
CREATE PUBLICATION (\fBCREATE_PUBLICATION\fR(7)), DROP PUBLICATION (\fBDROP_PUBLICATION\fR(7)), CREATE SUBSCRIPTION (\fBCREATE_SUBSCRIPTION\fR(7)), ALTER SUBSCRIPTION (\fBALTER_SUBSCRIPTION\fR(7))
