ALTER MATERIALIZED VIEW changes various auxiliary properties of an existing materialized view.
You must own the materialized view to use ALTER MATERIALIZED
VIEW. To change a materialized 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 materialized view's schema. (These restrictions enforce that altering
the owner doesn't do anything you couldn't do by dropping and recreating the
materialized view. However, a superuser can alter ownership of any view
anyway.)
The statement subforms and actions available for ALTER MATERIALIZED VIEW are a subset of those available for ALTER TABLE, and have the same meaning when used for materialized views. See the descriptions for ALTER TABLE(7) for details.
name
The name (optionally schema-qualified) of an existing materialized view.
column_name
Name of a new or existing column.
new_column_name
New name for an existing column.
new_owner
The user name of the new owner of the materialized view.
new_name
The new name for the materialized view.
new_schema
The new schema for the materialized view.
