# ALTER LARGE OBJECT

## Name

ALTER LARGE OBJECT -- change the definition of a large object

## Synopsis

    ALTER LARGE OBJECT large_object_oid OWNER TO new_owner

## 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.
