SYNOPSIS

10       ALTER OPERATOR CLASS name USING index_method RENAME TO newname
11       ALTER OPERATOR CLASS name USING index_method OWNER TO newowner

DESCRIPTION

15       ALTER OPERATOR CLASS changes the definition of an operator class.
16
17       You  must own the operator class to use ALTER OPERATOR CLASS.  To alter
18       the owner, you must also be a direct or indirect member of the new own‐
19       ing  role,  and  that  role  must have CREATE privilege on the operator
20       class's schema. (These restrictions enforce  that  altering  the  owner
21       doesn't  do  anything  you  couldn't  do by dropping and recreating the
22       operator class. However, a superuser can alter ownership of any  opera‐
23       tor class anyway.)
