create role in a pl/pgsql trigger
hi,
I would like to write a trigger on a table which contains detailed
information about users. If I add a new user to this table, I'd like this
trigger to add the user to the database as well. Later I also want to
implement triggers for updating and deleting, but I got stuck at the first
part of this task.
Everything went fine until the point I had to insert the username into the
create role command. Appearently the command takes only parameters without
the ' signs, and the language supports only substituting parameters with the
apostrophe.
Any idea?
Thanks,
Balazs
Relevant metadata:

CREATE TRIGGER "felhasznalo_letrehozas" BEFORE INSERT

Use 'EXECUTE' (without "USING" because "EXECUTE ... USING" doesn't work
for utility statements).
