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  be  able  to SET ROLE to the new owning role, and that role must have
     the CREATE privilege for the database. (Note that superusers have all these
     privileges automatically.)

PARAMETERS
     name
	 The name of an existing schema.

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

     new_owner
	 The new owner of the schema.

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

SEE ALSO
     CREATE SCHEMA (CREATE_SCHEMA(7)), DROP SCHEMA (DROP_SCHEMA(7))
