NAME
       CREATE USER - define a new database role


SYNOPSIS
       CREATE USER name [ [ WITH ] option [ ... ] ]

       where option can be:

	     SUPERUSER | NOSUPERUSER
	   | CREATEDB | NOCREATEDB
	   | CREATEROLE | NOCREATEROLE
	   | CREATEUSER | NOCREATEUSER
	   | INHERIT | NOINHERIT
	   | LOGIN | NOLOGIN
	   | CONNECTION LIMIT connlimit
	   | [ ENCRYPTED | UNENCRYPTED ] PASSWORD 'password'
	   | VALID UNTIL 'timestamp'
	   | IN ROLE rolename [, ...]

	   | ROLE rolename [, ...]
	   | ADMIN rolename [, ...]
	   | USER rolename [, ...]
	   | SYSID uid


DESCRIPTION
       CREATE USER is now an alias for CREATE ROLE [create_role(7)].  The only
       difference is that when the command is spelled CREATE  USER,  LOGIN  is
       assumed	by  default,  whereas  NOLOGIN	is assumed when the command is
       spelled CREATE ROLE.

COMPATIBILITY
       The CREATE USER statement is a PostgreSQL extension. The  SQL  standard
       leaves the definition of users to the implementation.

SEE ALSO
       CREATE ROLE [create_role(7)]
