9       ALTER PUBLICATION name ADD TABLE [ ONLY ] table_name [ * ] [, ...]
10       ALTER PUBLICATION name SET TABLE [ ONLY ] table_name [ * ] [, ...]
11       ALTER PUBLICATION name DROP TABLE [ ONLY ] table_name [ * ] [, ...]
12       ALTER PUBLICATION name SET ( publication_parameter [= value] [, ... ] )

15

DESCRIPTION

17       The command ALTER PUBLICATION can change the attributes of a
18       publication.
19
20       The first three variants change which tables are part of the
21       publication. The SET TABLE clause will replace the list of tables in
22       the publication with the specified one. The ADD TABLE and DROP TABLE
23       clauses will add and remove one or more tables from the publication.
24       Note that adding tables to a publication that is already subscribed to
25       will require a ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... REFRESH PUBLICATION action on the
26       subscribing side in order to become effective.
27
28       The fourth variant of this command listed in the synopsis can change
29       all of the publication properties specified in CREATE PUBLICATION
30       (CREATE_PUBLICATION(7)). Properties not mentioned in the command retain
31       their previous settings.
32
33       The remaining variants change the owner and the name of the
34       publication.
35
36       You must own the publication to use ALTER PUBLICATION. To alter the
37       owner, you must also be a direct or indirect member of the new owning
38       role. The new owner must have CREATE privilege on the database. Also,
39       the new owner of a FOR ALL TABLES publication must be a superuser.
40       However, a superuser can change the ownership of a publication while
41       circumventing these restrictions.

PARAMETERS

44       name
45           The name of an existing publication whose definition is to be
46           altered.
47
48       table_name
49           Name of an existing table. If ONLY is specified before the table
50           name, only that table is affected. If ONLY is not specified, the
51           table and all its descendant tables (if any) are affected.
52           Optionally, * can be specified after the table name to explicitly
53           indicate that descendant tables are included.
54
55       SET ( publication_parameter [= value] [, ... ] )
56           This clause alters publication parameters originally set by CREATE
57           PUBLICATION (CREATE_PUBLICATION(7)). See there for more
58           information.
59
60       new_owner
61           The user name of the new owner of the publication.
62
