Hello,
When doing:
SELECT * FROM pg_user;
foo=# select * from pg_user; usename | usesysid | usecreatedb | usesuper | usecatupd | passwd |
valuntil | useconfig
---------+----------+-------------+----------+-----------+----------+----------+----------- jd | 10 | t
| t | t | ******** | |
(1 row)
Then:
foo=# create role foo with createdb;
CREATE ROLE
foo=# create user foo;
ERROR: role "foo" already exists
ERROR: role "foo" already exists
foo=# select * from pg_user; usename | usesysid | usecreatedb | usesuper | usecatupd | passwd |
valuntil | useconfig
---------+----------+-------------+----------+-----------+----------+----------+----------- jd | 10 | t
| t | t | ******** | |
(1 row)
I understand what is happening, but perhaps the error should be:
A role "foo" already exists which can not be the same as a username?
Or something like that...
Sincerely,
Joshua D. Drake
