Description
ALTER OPERATOR CLASS changes the definition of an operator class.
You must own the operator class to useALTER OPERATOR CLASS. To alter the owner, you must also be a direct or indirect member of the new owning role, and that role must haveCREATE privilege on the operator class's schema. (These restrictions enforce that altering the owner doesn't do anything you couldn't do by dropping and recreating the operator class. However, a superuser can alter ownership of any operator class anyway.)
Parameters

index_methodThe name of the index method this operator class is for.
new_nameThe new name of the operator class.
new_ownerThe new owner of the operator class.
