ALTER USER MAPPING FOR { <em class="replaceable"><code>user_name</code></em> | USER | CURRENT_USER | SESSION_USER | PUBLIC }
SERVER <em class="replaceable"><code>server_name</code></em>
OPTIONS ( [ ADD | SET | DROP ] <em class="replaceable"><code>option</code></em> ['<em class="replaceable"><code>value</code></em>'] [, ... ] )
</pre></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.9.3.44.5"><h2>Description</h2><p>
<code class="command">ALTER USER MAPPING</code> changes the definition of a
user mapping.
</p><p>
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 <code class="literal">USAGE</code> privilege on the server has
been granted to the user.
</p></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.9.3.44.6"><h2>Parameters</h2><div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist"><dt><span class="term"><em class="replaceable"><code>user_name</code></em></span></dt><dd><p>
User name of the mapping. <code class="literal">CURRENT_USER</code>
and <code class="literal">USER</code> match the name of the current
user. <code class="literal">PUBLIC</code> is used to match all present and future
user names in the system.
</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><em class="replaceable"><code>server_name</code></em></span></dt><dd><p>
Server name of the user mapping.
</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="literal">OPTIONS ( [ ADD | SET | DROP ] <em class="replaceable"><code>option</code></em> ['<em class="replaceable"><code>value</code></em>'] [, ... ] )</code></span></dt><dd><p>
Change options for the user mapping. The new options override
any previously specified
options. <code class="literal">ADD</code>, <code class="literal">SET</code>, and <code class="literal">DROP</code>
specify the action to be performed. <code class="literal">ADD</code> is assumed
if no operation is explicitly specified. Option names must be
unique; options are also validated by the server's foreign-data
wrapper.
</p></dd></dl></div></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.9.3.44.7"><h2>Examples</h2><p>
Change the password for user mapping <code class="literal">bob</code>, server <code class="literal">foo</code>:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
ALTER USER MAPPING FOR bob SERVER foo OPTIONS (SET password 'public');
</pre></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.9.3.44.8"><h2>Compatibility</h2><p>
<code class="command">ALTER USER MAPPING</code> conforms to ISO/IEC 9075-9
(SQL/MED). There is a subtle syntax issue: The standard omits
the <code class="literal">FOR</code> key word. Since both <code class="literal">CREATE
USER MAPPING</code> and <code class="literal">DROP USER MAPPING</code> use
<code class="literal">FOR</code> in analogous positions, and IBM DB2 (being
the other major SQL/MED implementation) also requires it
for <code class="literal">ALTER USER MAPPING</code>, PostgreSQL diverges from
the standard here in the interest of consistency and
interoperability.
