+ <code class="command">ALTER PROCEDURE</code> changes the definition of a

+ </p><p>
+ You must own the procedure to use <code class="command">ALTER PROCEDURE</code>.
+ To change a procedure'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 procedure's schema. (These restrictions enforce that altering the owner
+ doesn't do anything you couldn't do by dropping and recreating the procedure.
+ However, a superuser can alter ownership of any procedure anyway.)

+ This statement is partially compatible with the <code class="command">ALTER

+ properties of a procedure to be modified, but does not provide the
+ ability to rename a procedure, make a procedure a security definer,
+ attach configuration parameter values to a procedure,
+ or change the owner, schema, or volatility of a procedure. The standard also
+ requires the <code class="literal">RESTRICT</code> key word, which is optional in
+ <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span>.
