ALTER DIRECTORY

Function

ALTER DIRECTORY modifies a directory.

Precautions

• Currently, only the directory owner can be changed.
• When enable_access_server_directory is set to off, only the initial user is allowed to change the directory owner. When enable_access_server_directory is set to on, users with the SYSADMIN permission and the directory object owner can change the directory object owner, and the user who changes the owner is required to be a member of the new owner.
