<title>Description</title>
<para>
<command>ALTER EXTENSION</command> changes the definition of an installed
extension. There are several subforms:
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><literal>SET SCHEMA</literal></term>
<listitem>
<para>
This form moves the extension's objects into another schema. The
extension has to be <firstterm>relocatable</> for this command to
succeed.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><literal>ADD <replaceable class="PARAMETER">member_object</replaceable></literal></term>
<listitem>
<para>
This form adds an existing object to the extension. This is mainly
useful in extension upgrade scripts. The object will subsequently
be treated as a member of the extension; notably, it can only be
dropped by dropping the extension.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><literal>DROP <replaceable class="PARAMETER">member_object</replaceable></literal></term>
<listitem>
<para>
This form removes a member object from the extension. This is mainly
useful in extension upgrade scripts. The object is not dropped, only
disassociated from the extension.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>
See <xref linkend="extend-extensions"> for more information about these
operations.
</para>
<para>
Only superusers can execute <command>ALTER EXTENSION</command>.

<refsect1>
<title>Parameters</title>
<para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><replaceable class="PARAMETER">extension_name</replaceable></term>
<listitem>
<para>
The name of an installed extension.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><replaceable class="PARAMETER">new_schema</replaceable></term>
<listitem>
<para>
The new schema for the extension.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><replaceable class="parameter">object_name</replaceable></term>
<term><replaceable class="parameter">agg_name</replaceable></term>
<term><replaceable class="parameter">function_name</replaceable></term>
<term><replaceable class="parameter">operator_name</replaceable></term>
<listitem>
<para>
The name of an object to be added to or removed from the extension.
Names of tables,
aggregates, domains, foreign tables, functions, operators,
operator classes, operator families, sequences, text search objects,
types, and views can be schema-qualified.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><replaceable class="parameter">agg_type</replaceable></term>
<listitem>
<para>
An input data type on which the aggregate function operates.
To reference a zero-argument aggregate function, write <literal>*</>
in place of the list of input data types.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><replaceable>source_type</replaceable></term>
<listitem>
<para>
The name of the source data type of the cast.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><replaceable>target_type</replaceable></term>
<listitem>
<para>
The name of the target data type of the cast.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><replaceable class="parameter">argmode</replaceable></term>
<listitem>
<para>
The mode of a function argument: <literal>IN</>, <literal>OUT</>,
<literal>INOUT</>, or <literal>VARIADIC</>.
If omitted, the default is <literal>IN</>.
Note that <command>ALTER EXTENSION</command> does not actually pay
any attention to <literal>OUT</> arguments, since only the input
arguments are needed to determine the function's identity.
So it is sufficient to list the <literal>IN</>, <literal>INOUT</>,
and <literal>VARIADIC</> arguments.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><replaceable class="parameter">argname</replaceable></term>
<listitem>
<para>
The name of a function argument.
Note that <command>ALTER EXTENSION</command> does not actually pay
any attention to argument names, since only the argument data
types are needed to determine the function's identity.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><replaceable class="parameter">argtype</replaceable></term>
<listitem>
<para>
The data type(s) of the function's arguments (optionally
schema-qualified), if any.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><literal>PROCEDURAL</literal></term>
<listitem>
<para>
This is a noise word.
</para>
