<title>Description</title>
<para>
<command>ALTER OPERATOR</command> changes the definition of
an operator. The only currently available functionality is to change the
owner of the operator.
</para>
<para>
You must own the operator to use <command>ALTER OPERATOR</>.
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's schema. (These restrictions enforce that altering the owner
doesn't do anything you couldn't do by dropping and recreating the operator.
However, a superuser can alter ownership of any operator anyway.)
