an operator class.
</p><p> You must own the operator class to use <code class="command">ALTER OPERATOR CLASS</code>.
To alter the owner, you must also be a direct or indirect member of the new
owning role, and that role must have <code class="literal">CREATE</code> 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.)
