ALTER SCHEMA
changes the definition of a schema.
You must own the schema to use ALTER SCHEMA
.
To rename a schema you must also have the
CREATE
privilege for the database.
To alter the owner, you must also be a direct or
indirect member of the new owning role, and you must have the
CREATE
privilege for the database.
(Note that superusers have all these privileges automatically.)
name
The name of an existing schema.
new_name
The new name of the schema. The new name cannot
begin with pg_

are reserved for system schemas.
new_owner
The new owner of the schema.
There is no ALTER SCHEMA
statement in the SQL
standard.
