<title>Description</title>
<para>
<command>ALTER AGGREGATE</command> changes the definition of an
aggregate function.
</para>
<para>
You must own the aggregate function to use <command>ALTER AGGREGATE</>.
To change the schema of an aggregate function, you must also have
<literal>CREATE</literal> 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 <literal>CREATE</literal> privilege on
the aggregate function's schema. (These restrictions enforce that altering
the owner doesn't do anything you couldn't do by dropping and recreating
the aggregate function. However, a superuser can alter ownership of any
aggregate function anyway.)
