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