Thread: doc: minor update for description of "pg_roles" view
Hi Here: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/view-pg-roles.html we state: "This view explicitly exposes the OID column of the underlying table, since that is needed to do joins to other catalogs." I think it's superfluous to mention this now OIDs are exposed by default; attached patch (for REL_12_STABLE and HEAD) simply removes this sentence.
