There are several sub-forms:
</P
><P
></P
><DIV
CLASS="VARIABLELIST"
><DL
><DT
>SET/DROP DEFAULT</DT
><DD
><P
> These forms set or remove the default value for a domain. Note
that defaults only apply to subsequent <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>INSERT</TT
>
commands; they do not affect rows already in a table using the domain.
</P
></DD
><DT
>SET/DROP NOT NULL</DT
><DD
><P
> These forms change whether a domain is marked to allow NULL
values or to reject NULL values. You can only <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>SET NOT NULL</TT
>
when the columns using the domain contain no null values.
</P
></DD
><DT
>ADD <TT
CLASS="REPLACEABLE"
><I
>domain_constraint</I
></TT
> [ NOT VALID ]</DT
><DD
><P
> This form adds a new constraint to a domain using the same syntax as
<A
HREF="sql-createdomain.html"
>CREATE DOMAIN</A
>.
When a new constraint is added to a domain, all columns using that
domain will be checked against the newly added constraint. These
checks can be suppressed by adding the new constraint using the
<TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>NOT VALID</TT
> option; the constraint can later be made
valid using <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>ALTER DOMAIN ... VALIDATE CONSTRAINT</TT
>.
Newly inserted or updated rows are always checked against all
constraints, even those marked <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>NOT VALID</TT
>.
<TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>NOT VALID</TT
> is only accepted for <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>CHECK</TT
> constraints.
</P
></DD
><DT
>DROP CONSTRAINT [ IF EXISTS ]</DT
><DD
><P
> This form drops constraints on a domain.
If <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>IF EXISTS</TT
> is specified and the constraint
does not exist, no error is thrown. In this case a notice is issued instead.
</P
></DD
><DT
>RENAME CONSTRAINT</DT
><DD
><P
> This form changes the name of a constraint on a domain.
</P
></DD
><DT
>VALIDATE CONSTRAINT</DT
><DD
><P
> This form validates a constraint previously added as
<TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>NOT VALID</TT
>, that is, verify that all data in columns using the
domain satisfy the specified constraint.
</P
></DD
><DT
>OWNER</DT
><DD
><P
> This form changes the owner of the domain to the specified user.
</P
></DD
><DT
><TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>RENAME</TT
></DT
><DD
><P
> This form changes the name of the domain.
</P
></DD
><DT
>SET SCHEMA</DT
><DD
><P
> This form changes the schema of the domain. Any constraints
associated with the domain are moved into the new schema as well.
</P
></DD
></DL
></DIV
><P
> You must own the domain to use <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>ALTER DOMAIN</TT
>.
To change the schema of a domain, you must also have
<TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>CREATE</TT
> 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 <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>CREATE</TT
> privilege on
the domain's schema. (These restrictions enforce that altering the owner
doesn't do anything you couldn't do by dropping and recreating the domain.
However, a superuser can alter ownership of any domain anyway.)
