DESCRIPTION

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

COMPATIBILITY

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