ALTER USER MAPPING(7) | PostgreSQL 16.4 Documentation | ALTER USER MAPPING(7) |
NAME¶
ALTER_USER_MAPPING - change the definition of a user mapping
SYNOPSIS¶
ALTER USER MAPPING FOR { user_name | USER | CURRENT_ROLE | CURRENT_USER | SESSION_USER | PUBLIC }
SERVER server_name
OPTIONS ( [ ADD | SET | DROP ] option ['value'] [, ... ] )
DESCRIPTION¶
ALTER USER MAPPING changes the definition of a user mapping.
The owner of a foreign server can alter user mappings for that server for any user. Also, a user can alter a user mapping for their own user name if USAGE privilege on the server has been granted to the user.
PARAMETERS¶
user_name
server_name
OPTIONS ( [ ADD | SET | DROP ] option ['value'] [, ... ] )
EXAMPLES¶
Change the password for user mapping bob, server foo:
ALTER USER MAPPING FOR bob SERVER foo OPTIONS (SET password 'public');
COMPATIBILITY¶
ALTER USER MAPPING conforms to ISO/IEC 9075-9 (SQL/MED). There is a subtle syntax issue: The standard omits the FOR key word. Since both CREATE USER MAPPING and DROP USER MAPPING use FOR in analogous positions, and IBM DB2 (being the other major SQL/MED implementation) also requires it for ALTER USER MAPPING, PostgreSQL diverges from the standard here in the interest of consistency and interoperability.
SEE ALSO¶
