</pre></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.9.3.33.5"><h2>Description</h2><p>
   <code class="command">ALTER SUBSCRIPTION</code> can change most of the subscription
   properties that can be specified
   in <a class="xref" href="sql-createsubscription.html" title="CREATE SUBSCRIPTION"><span class="refentrytitle">CREATE SUBSCRIPTION</span></a>.
  </p><p>
   You must own the subscription to use <code class="command">ALTER SUBSCRIPTION</code>.
   To alter the owner, you must also be a direct or indirect member of the
   new owning role. The new owner has to be a superuser.
   (Currently, all subscription owners must be superusers, so the owner checks
   will be bypassed in practice.  But this might change in the future.)
  </p><p>
   When refreshing a publication we remove the relations that are no longer
   part of the publication and we also remove the table synchronization slots
   if there are any. It is necessary to remove these slots so that the resources
   allocated for the subscription on the remote host are released. If due to
   network breakdown or some other error, <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span>
   is unable to remove the slots, an ERROR will be reported. To proceed in this
   situation, the user either needs to retry the operation or disassociate the
   slot from the subscription and drop the subscription as explained in
   <a class="xref" href="sql-dropsubscription.html" title="DROP SUBSCRIPTION"><span class="refentrytitle">DROP SUBSCRIPTION</span></a>.
  </p><p>
   Commands <code class="command">ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... REFRESH PUBLICATION</code> and
   <code class="command">ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... {SET|ADD|DROP} PUBLICATION ...</code>
   with <code class="literal">refresh</code> option as <code class="literal">true</code> cannot be
   executed inside a transaction block.

      The name of a subscription whose properties are to be altered.
     </p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="literal">CONNECTION '<em class="replaceable"><code>conninfo</code></em>'</code></span></dt><dd><p>
      This clause alters the connection property originally set by

      Changes the list of subscribed publications.  <code class="literal">SET</code>
      replaces the entire list of publications with a new list,
      <code class="literal">ADD</code> adds additional publications to the list of
      publications, and <code class="literal">DROP</code> removes the publications from
      the list of publications.  See <a class="xref" href="sql-createsubscription.html" title="CREATE SUBSCRIPTION"><span class="refentrytitle">CREATE SUBSCRIPTION</span></a>
      for more information.  By default, this command will also act like
      <code class="literal">REFRESH PUBLICATION</code>.
     </p><p>
      <em class="replaceable"><code>publication_option</code></em> specifies additional
      options for this operation.  The supported options are:

          When false, the command will not try to refresh table information.
          <code class="literal">REFRESH PUBLICATION</code> should then be executed separately.
          The default is <code class="literal">true</code>.
         </p></dd></dl></div><p>

      Additionally, the options described under
      <code class="literal">REFRESH PUBLICATION</code> may be specified, to control the
      implicit refresh operation.
     </p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="literal">REFRESH PUBLICATION</code></span></dt><dd><p>
      Fetch missing table information from publisher.  This will start
      replication of tables that were added to the subscribed-to publications
      since the last invocation of <code class="command">REFRESH PUBLICATION</code> or
      since <code class="command">CREATE SUBSCRIPTION</code>.
     </p><p>

          Specifies whether the existing data in the publications that are
          being subscribed to should be copied once the replication starts.
          The default is <code class="literal">true</code>.  (Previously subscribed
          tables are not copied.)

      Enables the previously disabled subscription, starting the logical
      replication worker at the end of transaction.
     </p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="literal">DISABLE</code></span></dt><dd><p>
      Disables the running subscription, stopping the logical replication

      information.  The parameters that can be altered
