ALTER_SCHEMA - change the definition of a schema

Compatibility

       There is no ALTERSCHEMA statement in the SQL standard.

Description

ALTERSCHEMA changes the definition of a schema.

       You must own the schema to use ALTERSCHEMA. To rename a schema you must also have the CREATE privilege
       for the database. To alter the owner, you must be able to SET ROLE to the new owning role, and that role
       must have the CREATE privilege for the database. (Note that superusers have all these privileges
       automatically.)

Name

       ALTER_SCHEMA - change the definition of a schema

Parameters

name
           The name of an existing schema.

       new_name
           The new name of the schema. The new name cannot begin with pg_, as such names are reserved for system
           schemas.

       new_owner
           The new owner of the schema.
