## ALTER LARGE OBJECT

ALTER LARGE OBJECT — change the definition of a large object

## Synopsis

    ALTER LARGE OBJECT large_object_oid OWNER TO { new_owner | CURRENT_ROLE | CURRENT_USER | SESSION_USER }

## Description

`ALTER LARGE OBJECT` changes the definition of a large object.

You must own the large object to use `ALTER LARGE OBJECT`. To alter the owner, you must also be able to `SET ROLE` to the new owning role. (However, a superuser can alter any large object anyway.) Currently, the only functionality is to assign a new owner, so both restrictions always apply.

## Parameters

`large_object_oid`

  OID of the large object to be altered

`new_owner`

  The new owner of the large object

## Compatibility

There is no `ALTER LARGE OBJECT` statement in the SQL standard.
