NAME
ALTER_STATISTICS - change the definition of an extended statistics object
SYNOPSIS
ALTER STATISTICS \nname\n OWNER TO { \nnew_owner\n | CURRENT_ROLE | CURRENT_USER | SESSION_USER }
ALTER STATISTICS \nname\n RENAME TO \nnew_name\n
ALTER STATISTICS \nname\n SET SCHEMA \nnew_schema\n
ALTER STATISTICS \nname\n SET STATISTICS { \nnew_target\n | DEFAULT }DESCRIPTION
ALTER STATISTICS changes the parameters of an existing extended statistics object. Any parameters not specifically set in the ALTER STATISTICS command retain their prior settings.
You must own the statistics object to use ALTER STATISTICS. To change a statistics object's schema, you must also have CREATE privilege on the new schema. To alter the owner, you must be able to SET ROLE to the new owning role, and that role must have CREATE 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.)
PARAMETERS
name
new_owner
new_name
