  <title>Description</title>

  <para>
   <command>ALTER STATISTICS</command> changes the parameters of an existing
   extended statistics object.  Any parameters not specifically set in the
   <command>ALTER STATISTICS</command> command retain their prior settings.
  </para>

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