ALTER SECRET

ALTER SECRET changes the contents of a secret. To rename a secret, see ALTER...RENAME.

Syntax

ALTER SECRET IF EXISTS name AS value
Field Use
name The identifier of the secret you want to alter.
value The new value for the secret. The value expression may not reference any relations, and must be implicitly castable to bytea.

Details

After an ALTER SECRET command is executed:

  • Future CREATE CONNECTION, CREATE SOURCE, and CREATE SINK commands will use the new value of the secret immediately.

  • Running sources and sinks that reference the secret will not immediately use the new value of the secret. Sources and sinks may cache the old secret value for several weeks.

    To force a running source or sink to refresh its secrets, drop and recreate all replicas of the cluster hosting the source or sink.

    For a managed cluster:

    ALTER CLUSTER storage_cluster SET (REPLICATION FACTOR = 0);
    ALTER CLUSTER storage_cluster SET (REPLICATION FACTOR = 1);
    

    For an unmanaged cluster:

    DROP CLUSTER REPLICA storage_cluster.r1;
    CREATE CLUSTER REPLICA storage_cluster.r1 (SIZE = '<original size>');
        ```
    

Examples

ALTER SECRET kafka_ca_cert AS decode('c2VjcmV0Cg==', 'base64');

Privileges

The privileges required to execute this statement are:

  • Ownership of the secret being altered.
