Here's a new patch + file. This one allows ALTER [SEQUENCE | VIEW] to
work only on the respective database objects, but permits the old
ALTER TABLE syntax.
Cheers,

You must own the view to use <command>ALTER VIEW</>.
To alter the owner, you must also be a direct or indirect member of the new
owning role, and that role must have <literal>CREATE</literal> privilege on
the view's schema. (These restrictions enforce that altering the
owner doesn't do anything you couldn't do by dropping and recreating the
view. However, a superuser can alter ownership of any view
anyway.)
