DESCRIPTION

       CREATE USER is now an alias for CREATE ROLE [create_role(7)], which see
       for more information.  The only difference is that when the command  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 implementation.
