ALTER CONVERSION(7)                PostgreSQL 16.14 Documentation                ALTER CONVERSION(7)

NAME
       ALTER_CONVERSION - change the definition of a conversion

SYNOPSIS
       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.
