16 ALTER STATISTICS changes the parameters of an existing extended
17 statistics object. Any parameters not specifically set in the ALTER
18 STATISTICS command retain their prior settings.
19
20 You must own the statistics object to use ALTER STATISTICS. To change a
21 statistics object's schema, you must also have CREATE privilege on the
22 new schema. To alter the owner, you must also be a direct or indirect
23 member of the new owning role, and that role must have CREATE privilege
24 on the statistics object's schema. (These restrictions enforce that
25 altering the owner doesn't do anything you couldn't do by dropping and
26 recreating the statistics object. However, a superuser can alter
27 ownership of any statistics object anyway.)
28
30 name
31 The name (optionally schema-qualified) of the statistics object to
32 be altered.
33
34 new_owner
35 The user name of the new owner of the statistics object.
36
37 new_name
38 The new name for the statistics object.
39
40 new_schema
41 The new schema for the statistics object.
42
43 new_target
44 The statistic-gathering target for this statistics object for
45 subsequent ANALYZE operations. The target can be set in the range 0
46 to 10000; alternatively, set it to -1 to revert to using the
47 maximum of the statistics target of the referenced columns, if set,
48 or the system default statistics target
49 (default_statistics_target). For more information on the use of
50 statistics by the PostgreSQL query planner, refer to Section 14.2.
51
53 There is no ALTER STATISTICS command in the SQL standard.
