ALTER CONVERSION
change the definition of a conversion
ALTER CONVERSION name RENAME TO new_name
ALTER CONVERSION name OWNER TO { new_owner | CURRENT_ROLE | CURRENT_USER | SESSION_USER }
ALTER CONVERSION name SET SCHEMA new_schema
Description
ALTER CONVERSION changes the definition of a
conversion.
You must own the conversion to use ALTER CONVERSION.
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 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.)
Parameters
name
The name (optionally schema-qualified) of an existing conversion.
new_name
The new name of the conversion.
new_owner
The new owner of the conversion.
new_schema
The new schema for the conversion.
Examples
To rename the conversion iso_8859_1_to_utf8 to
latin1_to_unicode:
ALTER CONVERSION iso_8859_1_to_utf8 RENAME TO latin1_to_unicode;
To change the owner of the conversion iso_8859_1_to_utf8 to
joe:
ALTER CONVERSION iso_8859_1_to_utf8 OWNER TO joe;
Compatibility
There is no ALTER CONVERSION statement in the SQL
standard.
