NAME

6       ALTER_SERVER - change the definition of a foreign server
7

SYNOPSIS

9       ALTER SERVER name [ VERSION 'new_version' ]
10           [ OPTIONS ( [ ADD | SET | DROP ] option ['value'] [, ... ] ) ]
11       ALTER SERVER name OWNER TO { new_owner | CURRENT_USER | SESSION_USER }
12       ALTER SERVER name RENAME TO new_name
13

DESCRIPTION

15       ALTER SERVER changes the definition of a foreign server. The first form
16       changes the server version string or the generic options of the server
17       (at least one clause is required). The second form changes the owner of
18       the server.
19
20       To alter the server you must be the owner of the server. Additionally
21       to alter the owner, you must own the server and also be a direct or
22       indirect member of the new owning role, and you must have USAGE
23       privilege on the server's foreign-data wrapper. (Note that superusers
24       satisfy all these criteria automatically.)
25

PARAMETERS

27       name
28           The name of an existing server.
29
30       new_version
31           New server version.
32
33       OPTIONS ( [ ADD | SET | DROP ] option ['value'] [, ... ] )
34           Change options for the server.  ADD, SET, and DROP specify the
35           action to be performed.  ADD is assumed if no operation is
36           explicitly specified. Option names must be unique; names and values
37           are also validated using the server's foreign-data wrapper library.
38
39       new_owner
40           The user name of the new owner of the foreign server.
41
42       new_name
43           The new name for the foreign server.

47
48           ALTER SERVER foo OPTIONS (host 'foo', dbname 'foodb');
49
50       Alter server foo, change version, change host option:
51
52           ALTER SERVER foo VERSION '8.4' OPTIONS (SET host 'baz');
53

COMPATIBILITY
