DESCRIPTION
ALTER MATERIALIZED VIEW changes various auxiliary properties of an
existing materialized view.
You must own the materialized view to use ALTER MATERIALIZED VIEW. To
change a materialized view's schema, you must also have CREATE
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 CREATE privilege on the materialized view's schema. (These
restrictions enforce that altering the owner doesn't do anything you
couldn't do by dropping and recreating the materialized view. However,
a superuser can alter ownership of any view anyway.)
The DEPENDS ON EXTENSION form marks the materialized view as dependent
on an extension, such that the materialized view will automatically be
dropped if the extension is dropped.
The statement subforms and actions available for ALTER MATERIALIZED
VIEW are a subset of those available for ALTER TABLE, and have the same
meaning when used for materialized views. See the descriptions for
ALTER TABLE (ALTER_TABLE(7)) for details.
