ALTER VIEW(7)                    PostgreSQL 9.2.24 Documentation                    ALTER VIEW(7)



NAME
       ALTER_VIEW - change the definition of a view

SYNOPSIS
       ALTER VIEW [ IF EXISTS ] name ALTER [ COLUMN ] column_name SET DEFAULT expression
       ALTER VIEW [ IF EXISTS ] name ALTER [ COLUMN ] column_name DROP DEFAULT
       ALTER VIEW [ IF EXISTS ] name OWNER TO new_owner
       ALTER VIEW [ IF EXISTS ] name RENAME TO new_name
       ALTER VIEW [ IF EXISTS ] name SET SCHEMA new_schema
       ALTER VIEW [ IF EXISTS ] name SET ( view_option_name [= view_option_value] [, ... ] )
       ALTER VIEW [ IF EXISTS ] name RESET ( view_option_name [, ... ] )

DESCRIPTION
       ALTER VIEW changes various auxiliary properties of a view. (If you want to modify the
       view's defining query, use CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW.)

       You must own the view to use ALTER VIEW. To change a view's schema, 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
       view's schema. (These restrictions enforce that altering the owner doesn't do anything you
       couldn't do by dropping and recreating the view. However, a superuser can alter ownership
       of any view anyway.)

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

       IF EXISTS
           Do not throw an error if the view does not exist. A notice is issued in this case.

       SET/DROP DEFAULT
           These forms set or remove the default value for a column. A default value associated
           with a view column is inserted into INSERT statements on the view before the view's ON
           INSERT rule is applied, if the INSERT does not specify a value for the column.

       new_owner
           The user name of the new owner of the view.

       new_name
           The new name for the view.

       new_schema
           The new schema for the view.

       view_option_name
           The name of a view option to be set or reset.

       view_option_value
           The new value for a view option.

NOTES
       For historical reasons, ALTER TABLE can be used with views too; but the only variants of
       ALTER TABLE that are allowed with views are equivalent to the ones shown above.

EXAMPLES
       To rename the view foo to bar:

           ALTER VIEW foo RENAME TO bar;

COMPATIBILITY
       ALTER VIEW is a PostgreSQL extension of the SQL standard.

SEE ALSO
       CREATE VIEW (CREATE_VIEW(7)), DROP VIEW (DROP_VIEW(7))
