+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+\fBALTER OPERATOR\fR
+changes the definition of an operator\&.
+.PP
+You must own the operator to use
+\fBALTER OPERATOR\fR\&. To alter the owner, you must be able to
+SET ROLE
+to the new owning role, and that role must have
+CREATE
+privilege on the operator\*(Aqs schema\&. (These restrictions enforce that altering the owner doesn\*(Aqt do anything you couldn\*(Aqt do by dropping and recreating the operator\&. However, a superuser can alter ownership of any operator anyway\&.)
+.SH "PARAMETERS"
+.PP
+\fIname\fR
+.RS 4
+The name (optionally schema\-qualified) of an existing operator\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fIleft_type\fR
+.RS 4
+The data type of the operator\*(Aqs left operand; write
+NONE
+if the operator has no left operand\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fIright_type\fR
+.RS 4
+The data type of the operator\*(Aqs right operand\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fInew_owner\fR
+.RS 4
+The new owner of the operator\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fInew_schema\fR
+.RS 4
+The new schema for the operator\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fIres_proc\fR
+.RS 4
+The restriction selectivity estimator function for this operator; write NONE to remove existing selectivity estimator\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fIjoin_proc\fR
+.RS 4
+The join selectivity estimator function for this operator; write NONE to remove existing selectivity estimator\&.
+.RE
