ALTER PACKAGE

Description

ALTER PACKAGE modifies the attributes of a package or recompiles a package.

Precautions

Currently, only users with the ALTER PACKAGE OWNER permission can run this command. The system administrator has this permission by default. The restrictions are as follows:
- The current user must be the owner of the package or the system administrator and a member of the new owner role.

The plpgsql_dependency parameter must be set for package recompilation.
Only the initial user can modify the owner of the package that has the definer permission.
When separation-of-duties is enabled, to modify the owner of a package, users must have the user group permission, even a system administrator.
Only the initial user can change the owner of a package to the initial user.
In separation-of-duties mode, the owner of a package of the DEFINER type cannot be changed. In non-separation-of-duties mode., only the system administrator or user with a higher permission can change the owner of a package.
The system administrator is not allowed to change the owner of a package of the DEFINER type to the initial user or O&M administrator.

    pkg_var int := 1;
    procedure test_pkg_proc(var int);
end test_pkg;
/

gaussdb=# create or replace package body test_pkg as
    procedure test_pkg_proc(var int)
