ALTER TYPE()                     SQL Commands                     ALTER TYPE()



NAME
       ALTER TYPE - change the definition of a type


SYNOPSIS
       ALTER TYPE name OWNER TO new_owner
       ALTER TYPE name SET SCHEMA new_schema



DESCRIPTION
       ALTER  TYPE  changes the definition of an existing type.  The only currently avail-
       able capabilities are changing the owner and schema of a type.

       You must own the type to use ALTER TYPE.  To change the schema of a type, you  must
       also have CREATE privilege on the new schema.  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 type's schema. (These restrictions enforce that altering the owner
       doesn't do anything you couldn't do by dropping and recreating the type.   However,
       a superuser can alter ownership of any type anyway.)

PARAMETERS
       name   The name (possibly schema-qualified) of an existing type to alter.

       new_owner
              The user name of the new owner of the type.

       new_schema
              The new schema for the type.


EXAMPLES
       To change the owner of the user-defined type email to joe:

       ALTER TYPE email OWNER TO joe;



       To change the schema of the user-defined type email to customers:

       ALTER TYPE email SET SCHEMA customers;



COMPATIBILITY
       There is no ALTER TYPE statement in the SQL standard.
