## 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 a direct or indirect member of 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.
