ALTER 
SERVER(7) 					  PostgreSQL 9.2.7 Documentation					   ALTER SERVER(7)

NAME

       ALTER_SERVER - change the definition of a foreign server

SYNOPSIS

       ALTER SERVER name [ VERSION 'new_version' ]
	   [ OPTIONS ( [ ADD | SET | DROP ] option ['value'] [, ... ] ) ]
       ALTER SERVER name OWNER TO new_owner
       ALTER SERVER name RENAME TO new_name

DESCRIPTION

       ALTER SERVER changes the definition of a foreign server. The first form changes the server version string or the generic options of the
       server (at least one clause is required). The second form changes the owner of the server.

       To alter the server you must be the owner of the server. Additionally to alter the owner, you must own the server and also be a direct or
       indirect member of the new owning role, and you must have USAGE privilege on the server's foreign-data wrapper. (Note that superusers
       satisfy all these criteria automatically.)

PARAMETERS

       name
	   The name of an existing server.

       new_version
	   New server version.

       OPTIONS ( [ ADD | SET | DROP ] option ['value'] [, ... ] )
	   Change options for the server.  ADD, SET, and DROP specify the action to be performed.  ADD is assumed if no operation is explicitly
	   specified. Option names must be unique; names and values are also validated using the server's foreign-data wrapper library.

       new_owner
	   The user name of the new owner of the foreign server.

       new_name
	   The new name for the foreign server.

EXAMPLES

       Alter server foo, add connection options:

	   ALTER SERVER foo OPTIONS (host 'foo', dbname 'foodb');

       Alter server foo, change version, change host option:

	   ALTER SERVER foo VERSION '8.4' OPTIONS (SET host 'baz');

COMPATIBILITY

       ALTER SERVER conforms to ISO/IEC 9075-9 (SQL/MED). The OWNER TO and RENAME forms are PostgreSQL extensions.

ALTER USER 
MAPPING(7)					  PostgreSQL 9.2.7 Documentation				     ALTER USER MAPPING(7)

NAME

       ALTER_USER_MAPPING - change the definition of a user mapping

SYNOPSIS

       ALTER USER MAPPING FOR { user_name | USER | CURRENT_USER | PUBLIC }
	   SERVER server_name
	   OPTIONS ( [ ADD | SET | DROP ] option ['value'] [, ... ] )

DESCRIPTION

       ALTER USER MAPPING changes the definition of a user mapping.

       The owner of a foreign server can alter user mappings for that server for any user. Also, a user can alter a user mapping for his own user
       name if USAGE privilege on the server has been granted to the user.

PARAMETERS

       user_name
	   User name of the mapping.  CURRENT_USER and USER match the name of the current user.  PUBLIC is used to match all present and future
	   user names in the system.

       server_name
	   Server name of the user mapping.

       OPTIONS ( [ ADD | SET | DROP ] option ['value'] [, ... ] )
	   Change options for the user mapping. The new options override any previously specified options.  ADD, SET, and DROP specify the action
	   to be performed.  ADD is assumed if no operation is explicitly specified. Option names must be unique; options are also validated by
	   the server's foreign-data wrapper.

EXAMPLES

       Change the password for user mapping bob, serverfoo:

	   ALTER USER MAPPING FOR bob SERVER foo OPTIONS (user 'bob', password 'public');

COMPATIBILITY

       ALTER USER MAPPING conforms to ISO/IEC 9075-9 (SQL/MED). There is a subtle syntax issue: The standard omits the FOR key word. Since both
       CREATE USER MAPPING and DROP USER MAPPING use FOR in analogous positions, and IBM DB2 (being the other major SQL/MED implementation) also
       requires it for ALTER USER MAPPING, PostgreSQL diverges from the standard here in the interest of consistency and interoperability.
