  15    The command <code class="command">ALTER PUBLICATION</code> can change the attributes
  16    of a publication.
  17   </p><p>
  18    The first three variants change which tables/schemas are part of the
  19    publication.  The <code class="literal">SET</code> clause will replace the list of
  20    tables/schemas in the publication with the specified list; the existing
  21    tables/schemas that were present in the publication will be removed.  The
  22    <code class="literal">ADD</code> and <code class="literal">DROP</code> clauses will add and
  23    remove one or more tables/schemas from the publication.  Note that adding
  24    tables/schemas to a publication that is already subscribed to will require an
  25    <a class="link" href="sql-altersubscription.html#SQL-ALTERSUBSCRIPTION-PARAMS-REFRESH-PUBLICATION">
  26    <code class="literal">ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... REFRESH PUBLICATION</code></a> action on the
  27    subscribing side in order to become effective. Note also that
  28    <code class="literal">DROP TABLES IN SCHEMA</code> will not drop any schema tables
  29    that were specified using
  30    <a class="link" href="sql-createpublication.html#SQL-CREATEPUBLICATION-PARAMS-FOR-TABLE"><code class="literal">FOR TABLE</code></a>/
  31    <code class="literal">ADD TABLE</code>, and the combination of <code class="literal">DROP</code>
  32    with a <code class="literal">WHERE</code> clause is not allowed.
  33   </p><p>
  34    The fourth variant of this command listed in the synopsis can change
  35    all of the publication properties specified in
  36    <a class="xref" href="sql-createpublication.html" title="CREATE PUBLICATION"><span class="refentrytitle">CREATE PUBLICATION</span></a>.  Properties not mentioned in the
  37    command retain their previous settings.
  38   </p><p>
  39    The remaining variants change the owner and the name of the publication.
  40   </p><p>
  41    You must own the publication to use <code class="command">ALTER PUBLICATION</code>.
  42    Adding a table to a publication additionally requires owning that table.
  43    The <code class="literal">ADD TABLES IN SCHEMA</code> and
  44    <code class="literal">SET TABLES IN SCHEMA</code> to a publication requires the
  45    invoking user to be a superuser.
  46    To alter the owner, you must be able to <code class="literal">SET ROLE</code> to the
  47    new owning role, and that role must have <code class="literal">CREATE</code>
  48    privilege on the database.
  49    Also, the new owner of a
  50    <a class="link" href="sql-createpublication.html#SQL-CREATEPUBLICATION-PARAMS-FOR-ALL-TABLES"><code class="literal">FOR ALL TABLES</code></a>

  52    publication must be a superuser. However, a superuser can
  53    change the ownership of a publication regardless of these restrictions.
  54   </p><p>
  55    Adding/Setting any schema when the publication also publishes a table with a
  56    column list, and vice versa is not supported.

  60       Name of an existing table.  If <code class="literal">ONLY</code> is specified before the

  63       affected.  Optionally, <code class="literal">*</code> can be specified after the table
  64       name to explicitly indicate that descendant tables are included.
  65      </p><p>
  66       Optionally, a column list can be specified.  See <a class="xref" href="sql-createpublication.html" title="CREATE PUBLICATION"><span class="refentrytitle">CREATE PUBLICATION</span></a> for details. Note that a subscription
  67       having several publications in which the same table has been published
  68       with different column lists is not supported. See

  73       which the <em class="replaceable"><code>expression</code></em>
  74       evaluates to false or null will not be published. Note that parentheses
  75       are required around the expression. The

  84        Altering the <code class="literal">publish_via_partition_root</code> parameter can
  85        lead to data loss or duplication at the subscriber because it changes
