Greetings,

I'm creating roles for the first time in Postgres.  Up until now,
I've only needed to grant privs to individuals.  I've been going over
the documentation on this and there is a part that is not very clear
to me.  It concerns inheritance.  First of all, if I create the role
database_name_select and add John and Mary to it, the role
database_name_select won't inherit John and Mary's privs, will it?  I
do want John and Mary to inherit the privs of the
database_name_select role.  Do I set database_name_select with the
option inherit or no inherit?  The implication is that roles can
inherit from other roles; is that correct?

Thanks for your help,

Carol
