Thread: sysid
It seems that in 8.1.0 we can no longer set the SYSID when adding users and groups. i.e template1=# create role hooker sysid 1345; NOTICE: SYSID can no longer be specified I have lots of code that depends on the actual group and user number. Is there a way to set the user and group number? thanks -- Arthur R.

No -- fix the code. Just curious, how can user code depend on the SYSIDs?
