hi,

I would like to write a trigger on a table which contains detailed
information about users. If I add a new user to this table, I'd like this
trigger to add the user to the database as well. Later I also want to
implement triggers for updating and deleting, but I got stuck at the first
part of this task.

Everything went fine until the point I had to insert the username into the
create role command. Appearently the command takes only parameters without
the ' signs, and the language supports only substituting parameters with the
apostrophe.

Any idea?

Thanks,
Balazs
