NAME
  ALTER SCHEMA - change the definition of a schema

SYNOPSIS
  ALTER SCHEMA name RENAME TO newname
  ALTER SCHEMA name OWNER TO newowner

DESCRIPTION
  ALTER SCHEMA changes the definition of a schema.

  You must own the schema to use ALTER SCHEMA.	To rename a schema you must
  also have the CREATE privilege for the database.  To alter the owner, you
  must also be a direct or indirect member of the new owning role, and you
  must have the CREATE privilege for the database.  (Note that superusers
  have all these privileges automatically.)

PARAMETERS
  name The name of an existing schema.

  newname
       The new name of the schema. The new name cannot begin with pg_, as
       such names are reserved for system schemas.

  newowner
       The new owner of the schema.

COMPATIBILITY
  There is no ALTER SCHEMA statement in the SQL standard.

SEE ALSO
  CREATE SCHEMA [create_schema(5)], DROP SCHEMA [drop_schema(l)]
