.SH "NAME"
ALTER_TABLESPACE \- change the definition of a tablespace
.\" ALTER TABLESPACE
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
.nf
ALTER TABLESPACE \fIname\fR RENAME TO \fInew_name\fR
ALTER TABLESPACE \fIname\fR OWNER TO \fInew_owner\fR
ALTER TABLESPACE \fIname\fR SET ( \fItablespace_option\fR = \fIvalue\fR [, \&.\&.\&. ] )
ALTER TABLESPACE \fIname\fR RESET ( \fItablespace_option\fR [, \&.\&.\&. ] )
.fi
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBALTER TABLESPACE\fR
changes the definition of a tablespace\&.
.PP
You must own the tablespace to use
\fBALTER TABLESPACE\fR\&. To alter the owner, you must also be a direct or indirect member of the new owning role\&. (Note that superusers have these privileges automatically\&.)
.SH "PARAMETERS"
.PP
\fIname\fR
.RS 4
The name of an existing tablespace\&.
.RE
.PP
\fInew_name\fR
.RS 4
The new name of the tablespace\&. The new name cannot begin with
pg_, as such names are reserved for system tablespaces\&.
.RE
.PP
\fInew_owner\fR
.RS 4
The new owner of the tablespace\&.
.RE
.PP
\fItablespace_parameter\fR
.RS 4
A tablespace parameter to be set or reset\&. Currently, the only available parameters are
\fIseq_page_cost\fR
and
\fIrandom_page_cost\fR\&. Setting either value for a particular tablespace will override the planner\*(Aqs usual estimate of the cost of reading pages from tables in that tablespace, as established by the configuration parameters of the same name (see
seq_page_cost,
random_page_cost)\&. This may be useful if one tablespace is located on a disk which is faster or slower than the remainder of the I/O subsystem\&.
.RE
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.PP
Rename tablespace
index_space
to
fast_raid:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
ALTER TABLESPACE index_space RENAME TO fast_raid;
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.PP
Change the owner of tablespace
index_space:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
ALTER TABLESPACE index_space OWNER TO mary;
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.SH "COMPATIBILITY"
.PP
There is no
\fBALTER TABLESPACE\fR
statement in the SQL standard\&.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
