<p>   <code class="command">ALTER TYPE</code> changes the definition of an existing type.
 
31
   The only currently available capabilities are changing the owner and schema
 
32
   of a type.
 
33
  </p>
 
34
<p>   You must own the type to use <code class="command">ALTER TYPE</code>.
 
35
   To change the schema of a type, you must also have
 
36
   <code class="literal">CREATE</code> privilege on the new schema.
 
37
   To alter the owner, you must also be a direct or indirect member of the new
 
38
   owning role, and that role must have <code class="literal">CREATE</code> privilege on
 
39
   the type's schema.  (These restrictions enforce that altering the owner
 
40
   doesn't do anything you couldn't do by dropping and recreating the type.
 
41
   However, a superuser can alter ownership of any type anyway.)
