NAME

6       ALTER_TRIGGER - change the definition of a trigger
7

SYNOPSIS

9       ALTER TRIGGER name ON table_name RENAME TO new_name
10

DESCRIPTION

12       ALTER TRIGGER changes properties of an existing trigger. The RENAME
13       clause changes the name of the given trigger without otherwise changing
14       the trigger definition.
15
16       You must own the table on which the trigger acts to be allowed to
17       change its properties.
18

PARAMETERS

20       name
21           The name of an existing trigger to alter.
22
23       table_name
24           The name of the table on which this trigger acts.
25
26       new_name
27           The new name for the trigger.
28

NOTES

30       The ability to temporarily enable or disable a trigger is provided by
31       ALTER TABLE (ALTER_TABLE(7)), not by ALTER TRIGGER, because ALTER
32       TRIGGER has no convenient way to express the option of enabling or
33       disabling all of a table's triggers at once.
34

EXAMPLES

36       To rename an existing trigger:
37
38           ALTER TRIGGER emp_stamp ON emp RENAME TO emp_track_chgs;
39

COMPATIBILITY

41       ALTER TRIGGER is a PostgreSQL extension of the SQL standard.
