<para>
<command>ALTER CONVERSION</command> changes the definition of a
conversion.
</para>
<para>
You must own the conversion to use <command>ALTER CONVERSION</>.
To alter the owner, you must also be a direct or indirect member of the new
owning role, and that role must have <literal>CREATE</literal> privilege on
the conversion's schema. (These restrictions enforce that altering the
owner doesn't do anything you couldn't do by dropping and recreating the
conversion. However, a superuser can alter ownership of any conversion
anyway.)
