<para>
<command>ALTER OPERATOR CLASS</command> changes the definition of
an operator class.
</para>
<para>
You must own the operator class to use <command>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 <literal>CREATE</literal> 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.)
