.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBALTER FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER\fR
changes the definition of a foreign\-data wrapper\&. The first form of the command changes the support functions or the generic options of the foreign\-data wrapper (at least one clause is required)\&. The second form changes the owner of the foreign\-data wrapper\&.
.PP
Only superusers can alter foreign\-data wrappers\&. Additionally, only superusers can own foreign\-data wrappers\&.
.SH "PARAMETERS"
.PP
\fIname\fR
.RS 4
The name of an existing foreign\-data wrapper\&.
.RE
.PP
HANDLER \fIhandler_function\fR
.RS 4
Specifies a new handler function for the foreign\-data wrapper\&.
.RE
.PP
NO HANDLER
.RS 4
This is used to specify that the foreign\-data wrapper should no longer have a handler function\&.
.sp
Note that foreign tables that use a foreign\-data wrapper with no handler cannot be accessed\&.
.RE
.PP
VALIDATOR \fIvalidator_function\fR
.RS 4
Specifies a new validator function for the foreign\-data wrapper\&.
.sp
Note that it is possible that after changing the validator the options to the foreign\-data wrapper, servers, and user mappings have become invalid\&. It is up to the user to make sure that these options are correct before using the foreign\-data wrapper\&.
.RE
.PP
NO VALIDATOR
.RS 4
This is used to specify that the foreign\-data wrapper should no longer have a validator function\&.
.RE
.PP
OPTIONS ( [ ADD | SET | DROP ] \fIoption\fR [\*(Aq\fIvalue\fR\*(Aq] [, \&.\&.\&. ] )
.RS 4
Change options for the foreign\-data wrapper\&.
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 foreign data wrapper\*(Aqs validator function, if any\&.
.RE
.PP
\fInew_owner\fR
.RS 4
The user name of the new owner of the foreign\-data wrapper\&.
.RE
.PP
\fInew_name\fR
.RS 4
The new name for the foreign\-data wrapper\&.
.RE
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.PP
Change a foreign\-data wrapper
dbi, add option
foo, drop
bar:

.PP
Change the foreign\-data wrapper
dbi
validator to

.SH "COMPATIBILITY"
.PP
\fBALTER FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER\fR
conforms to ISO/IEC 9075\-9 (SQL/MED), except that the
