DESCRIPTION

32       CREATE USER is now an alias for CREATE ROLE [create_role(7)].  The only
33       difference is that when the command is spelled CREATE  USER,  LOGIN  is
34       assumed  by  default,  whereas  NOLOGIN  is assumed when the command is
35       spelled CREATE ROLE.
36

COMPATIBILITY

38       The CREATE USER statement is a PostgreSQL extension. The  SQL  standard
39       leaves the definition of users to the implementation.
