ALTER
NAME
  ALTER AGGREGATE - change the definition of an aggregate function

SYNOPSIS
  ALTER AGGREGATE name ( type [ , ... ] ) RENAME TO new_name
  ALTER AGGREGATE name ( type [ , ... ] ) OWNER TO new_owner
  ALTER AGGREGATE name ( type [ , ... ] ) SET SCHEMA new_schema

DESCRIPTION
  ALTER AGGREGATE changes the definition of an aggregate function.

  You must own the aggregate function to use ALTER AGGREGATE.  To change the
  schema of an aggregate function, you must also have CREATE privilege on the
  new schema.  To alter the owner, you must also be a direct or indirect
  member of the new owning role, and that role must have CREATE privilege on
  the aggregate function's schema. (These restrictions enforce that altering
  the owner doesn't do anything you couldn't do by dropping and recreating
  the aggregate function. However, a superuser can alter ownership of any
  aggregate function anyway.)

PARAMETERS
  name The name (optionally schema-qualified) of an existing aggregate
       function.

  type An input data type on which the aggregate function operates.  To
       reference a zero-argument aggregate function, write * in place of the
       list of input data types.

  new_name
       The new name of the aggregate function.

  new_owner
       The new owner of the aggregate function.

  new_schema
       The new schema for the aggregate function.

EXAMPLES
  To rename the aggregate function myavg for type integer to my_average:

  ALTER AGGREGATE myavg(integer) RENAME TO my_average;

  To change the owner of the aggregate function myavg for type integer to
  joe:

  ALTER AGGREGATE myavg(integer) OWNER TO joe;

  To move the aggregate function myavg for type integer into schema myschema:

  ALTER AGGREGATE myavg(integer) SET SCHEMA myschema;

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

SEE ALSO
  CREATE AGGREGATE [create_aggregate(5)], DROP AGGREGATE [drop_aggregate(l)]
