+ <code class="command">ALTER VIEW</code> changes various auxiliary properties
+ of a view. (If you want to modify the view's defining query,
+ use <code class="command">CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW</code>.)
+ </p><p>
+ You must own the view to use <code class="command">ALTER VIEW</code>.
+ To change a view's schema, you must also have <code class="literal">CREATE</code>
+ 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 <code class="literal">CREATE</code> privilege on
+ the view's schema. (These restrictions enforce that altering the owner
+ doesn't do anything you couldn't do by dropping and recreating the view.
+ However, a superuser can alter ownership of any view anyway.)

+ A view column's default value is substituted into any
+ <code class="command">INSERT</code> or <code class="command">UPDATE</code> command whose target is the
