CREATEUSER == SUPERUSER?
Hi,
The following command makes a superuser. Is this correct?
template1=# CREATE USER xyz CREATEUSER;
CREATE ROLE
template1=# select rolname,rolsuper from pg_roles where rolname = 'xyz';
rolname | rolsuper
---------+----------
xyz | t
(1 row)
I think CREATEUSER keyword is equal to CREATEROLE.
Regards,

Yes, read the CREATE ROLE documentation:
CREATEUSER
NOCREATEUSER
These clauses are an obsolete, but still accepted, spelling of
SUPERUSER and NOSUPERUSER. Note that they are not equivalent to
CREATEROLE as one might naively expect!
I think CREATEUSER keyword is equal to CREATEROLE.
The proposed patch breaks backward compatibility, which is the only
reason we still allow these keywords at all.
