Bug reference: 8376
Logged by: David Tonhofer

PostgreSQL version: 9.2.4
Operating system: Linux
Description:

At: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/static/sql-createrole.html

1) Description of how to set "ROLCATUPDATE" is missing (if there is such an
option)

Uh, that is one of those system catalog fields that is auto-populated
based on whether you are a super-user, and to change it you have to
update the system catalogs. Should we mention that?

2) The option 'VALID UNTIL' should mention:
a) The special value 'infinity', which
seems to be equal to NULL

Well, infinity and NULL behave the same, but I am thinking we are best
to recommend NULL for its simplicity.

b) The fact that validity applies to
the password and thus does not
affect logins done by other means
than passwords.

Where did you see that was not clearly specified?
