Changes the definition of an operator class.

ALTER OPERATOR CLASS <name> USING <index_method> OWNER TO <new_owner>
ALTER OPERATOR CLASS <name> USING <index_method> SET SCHEMA <new_schema>
ALTER OPERATOR CLASS
changes the definition of an operator class.
You must own the operator class to use 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 CREATE
privilege on the operator class's schema. (These restrictions enforce that altering the owner does not do anything you could not do by dropping and recreating the operator class. However, a superuser can alter ownership of any operator class anyway.)
There is no ALTER OPERATOR CLASS
statement in the SQL standard.
CREATE OPERATOR CLASS, DROP OPERATOR CLASS
