<code class="command">ALTER OPERATOR</code> changes the definition of
an operator.
</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.)

The new schema for the operator.

The restriction selectivity estimator function for this operator; write NONE to remove existing selectivity estimator.
