7.7.1 ALTER

Purpose

The ALTER command performs an action on or changes attributes of a single cell object or multiple Oracle Exadata System Software objects. The ALTER command can be used to change an attribute or to take an action upon the object.

Syntax

ALTER { object_type object_name [, object_name]... operation
      | attribute_name = attribute_value 
        [, attribute_name = attribute_value]...
     }

Usage Notes

When multiple objects are the target of an ALTER command, there is the possibility of partial success. If an error occurs, then the command is interrupted, and the remaining objects are not changed.
