ALTER STATISTICS — change the definition of an extended statistics object

ALTER STATISTICS changes the parameters of an existing
extended statistics object. Any parameters not specifically set in the
ALTER STATISTICS command retain their prior settings.
You must own the statistics object to use ALTER STATISTICS.
To change a statistics object's schema, you must also
have CREATE privilege on the new schema.
To alter the owner, you must also be a direct or indirect member of the new
owning role, and that role must have CREATE privilege on
the statistics object's schema. (These restrictions enforce that altering
the owner doesn't do anything you couldn't do by dropping and recreating
the statistics object. However, a superuser can alter ownership of any
statistics object anyway.)
nameThe name (optionally schema-qualified) of the statistics object to be altered.
new_ownerThe user name of the new owner of the statistics object.
new_nameThe new name for the statistics object.
new_schemaThe new schema for the statistics object.
new_targetThe statistic-gathering target for this statistics object for subsequent ANALYZE operations. The target can be set in the range 0 to 10000; alternatively, set it to -1 to revert to using the maximum of the statistics target of the referenced columns, if set, or the system default statistics target (default_statistics_target). For more information on the use of statistics by the PostgreSQL query planner, refer to Section 14.2.
There is no ALTER STATISTICS command in the SQL standard.
