NAME

       ALTER OPERATOR CLASS - change the definition of an operator class

SYNOPSIS

       ALTER OPERATOR CLASS name USING index_method RENAME TO newname
       ALTER OPERATOR CLASS name USING index_method OWNER TO newowner

DESCRIPTION

       ALTER OPERATOR CLASS changes the definition of an operator class.

       You  must  own the operator class to use ALTER OPERATOR CLASS.  To alter the owner, you must also be a direct or indirect member of the new
       owning role, and that role must have CREATE privilege on the operator class's schema. (These restrictions enforce that altering	the  owner
       doesn't do anything you couldn't do by dropping and recreating the operator class. However, a superuser can alter ownership of any operator
       class anyway.)

PARAMETERS

       name   The name (optionally schema-qualified) of an existing operator class.

       index_method
	      The name of the index method this operator class is for.

       newname
	      The new name of the operator class.

       newowner
	      The new owner of the operator class.

COMPATIBILITY

       There is no ALTER OPERATOR CLASS statement in the SQL standard.
