  <para>
   <command>ALTER CONVERSION</command> changes the definition of a
   conversion.
  </para>

  <para>
   You must own the conversion to use <command>ALTER CONVERSION</>.
   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 conversion's schema.  (These restrictions enforce that altering the
   owner doesn't do anything you couldn't do by dropping and recreating the
   conversion. However, a superuser can alter ownership of any conversion
   anyway.)
