CREATE GROUPNameCREATE GROUP -- define a new user group SynopsisCREATE GROUP name [ [ WITH ] option [ ... ] ]
where option can be:
SYSID gid
| USER username [, ...] Description CREATE GROUP will create a new group in the
database cluster. You must be a database
superuser to use this command.
Use ALTER GROUP
to change a group's membership, and DROP GROUP to remove a group.
Parameters- name
The name of the group.
- gid
The SYSID clause can be used to choose
the EnterpriseDB group ID of the new
group. It is not necessary to do so, however.
If this is not specified, the highest assigned group ID plus one,
starting at 1, will be used as default.
- username
A list of users to include in the group. The users must already exist.
Examples Create an empty group:
CREATE GROUP staff;
Create a group with members:
CREATE GROUP marketing WITH USER jonathan, david;
Compatibility There is no CREATE GROUP statement in the SQL
standard. Roles are similar in concept to groups.
