       ALTER TABLESPACE changes the definition of a tablespace.

       You must own the tablespace to use ALTER TABLESPACE.  To alter the owner, you must also be
       a direct or indirect member of the new owning role.   (Note  that  superusers  have  these
       privileges automatically.)

PARAMETERS
       name   The name of an existing tablespace.

       newname
              The  new  name of the tablespace. The new name cannot begin with pg_, as such names
              are reserved for system tablespaces.

       newowner
              The new owner of the tablespace.

EXAMPLES
       Rename tablespace index_space to fast_raid:

       ALTER TABLESPACE index_space RENAME TO fast_raid;


       Change the owner of tablespace index_space:

       ALTER TABLESPACE index_space OWNER TO mary;
