ALTER COLLATION
change the definition of a collation
ALTER COLLATION name RENAME TO new_name
ALTER COLLATION name OWNER TO new_owner
ALTER COLLATION name SET SCHEMA new_schema
Description
ALTER COLLATION changes the definition of a
collation.
You must own the collation to use ALTER COLLATION>.
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 collation's schema. (These restrictions enforce that altering the
owner doesn't do anything you couldn't do by dropping and recreating the
collation. However, a superuser can alter ownership of any collation
anyway.)
Parameters
name
The name (optionally schema-qualified) of an existing collation.
new_name
The new name of the collation.
new_owner
The new owner of the collation.
new_schema
The new schema for the collation.
Examples
To rename the collation de_DE to
german:
ALTER COLLATION "de_DE" RENAME TO german;
To change the owner of the collation en_US to
joe:
ALTER COLLATION "en_US" OWNER TO joe;
Compatibility
There is no ALTER COLLATION statement in the SQL
standard.
