DESCRIPTION

       CREATE  USER  is  now  an  alias  for  CREATE  ROLE  [cre-
       ate_role(5)].  The only difference is that when  the  com-
       mand  is spelled CREATE USER, LOGIN is assumed by default,
       whereas NOLOGIN is assumed when  the  command  is  spelled
       CREATE ROLE.

COMPATIBILITY

       The  CREATE  USER statement is a PostgreSQL extension. The
       SQL standard leaves the definition of users to the  imple-
       mentation.
