+ You must own the conversion to use <command>ALTER CONVERSION</command>.
+ To alter the owner, you must be able to <literal>SET ROLE</literal> to the
+ new owning role, and that role must have <literal>CREATE</literal>
+ privilege on the conversion's schema.
+ (These restrictions enforce that altering the
+ owner doesn't do anything you couldn't do by dropping and recreating the
+ conversion. However, a superuser can alter ownership of any conversion
+ anyway.)
