|

You must own the operator class to use <command>ALTER OPERATOR CLASS</>.
|
|
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 operator class's schema. (These restrictions enforce that altering the
|
|
owner doesn't do anything you couldn't do by dropping and recreating the
|
|
operator class. However, a superuser can alter ownership of any operator
|
|
class anyway.)
