trigger. The <code class="literal">RENAME</code> clause changes the name of
the given trigger without otherwise changing the trigger
definition. The <code class="literal">DEPENDS ON EXTENSION</code> clause marks
the trigger as dependent on an extension, such that if the extension is
dropped, the trigger will automatically be dropped as well.
</p><p> You must own the table on which the trigger acts to be allowed to change its properties.

<code class="command">ALTER TRIGGER</code>, because <code class="command">ALTER TRIGGER</code> has no
convenient way to express the option of enabling or disabling all of
a table's triggers at once.
