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. Adding a table
37       to a publication additionally requires owning that table. To alter the
38       owner, you must also be a direct or indirect member of the new owning
39       role. The new owner must have CREATE privilege on the database. Also,
40       the new owner of a FOR ALL TABLES publication must be a superuser.
41       However, a superuser can change the ownership of a publication
42       regardless of these restrictions.

PARAMETERS

45       name
46           The name of an existing publication whose definition is to be
47           altered.
48
49       table_name
50           Name of an existing table. If ONLY is specified before the table

52           table and all its descendant tables (if any) are affected.
53           Optionally, * can be specified after the table name to explicitly
54           indicate that descendant tables are included.
55
56       SET ( publication_parameter [= value] [, ... ] )
57           This clause alters publication parameters originally set by CREATE
58           PUBLICATION (CREATE_PUBLICATION(7)). See there for more
59           information.
60
61       new_owner
62           The user name of the new owner of the publication.
