Thread: creating users in groups, in 8.1

Hello.
I had the following function in Postgres 8.0.4 for creation of users inside
existing groups. Now I need to adjust it for new Roles system. What do I
neeed to change?
Especially regarding: CMD := 'CREATE USER "' || l_username || '" WITH
ENCRYPTED PASSWORD ''' || l_password || ''' IN GROUP "' || l_group || '"
VALID UNTIL ''' || l_validity || '''';

Thanks in advance,

Zlatko
