<para>
|
|
You must own the aggregate function to use <command>ALTER AGGREGATE</>.
|
|
To change the schema of an aggregate function, you must also have
|
|
<literal>CREATE</literal> 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 <literal>CREATE</literal> 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.)
