  <title>Description</title>

  <para>
   <command>ALTER LARGE OBJECT</command> changes the definition of a
   large object.
  </para>

  <para>
   You must own the large object to use <command>ALTER LARGE OBJECT</command>.
   To alter the owner, you must also be able to <literal>SET ROLE</literal> to
   the new owning role.
   (However, a superuser can alter any large object anyway.)
   Currently, the only functionality is to assign a new owner, so both
   restrictions always apply.
