<code class="command">ALTER LARGE OBJECT</code> changes the definition of a
large object.
</p><p>
You must own the large object to use <code class="command">ALTER LARGE OBJECT</code>.
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.
