SQL for CREATE ROLE xxx SUPERUSER



Hi developers!

Testing the pgAdmin III 1.8.0 Beta 3 (Aug 10 2007, rev: 6546M). Client Win XP, host: Debian Etch / PG 8.2.4 and Debian Sarge / PG 8.1.8

The reverse engineered SQL for superusers seems at fault. Applies to both pg 8.2 and pg 8.1.


First example: everything looks normal:
CREATE ROLE tester;

=== quote
-- Role: "tester"

-- DROP ROLE tester;

CREATE ROLE tester
 NOSUPERUSER INHERIT NOCREATEDB NOCREATEROLE;
=== unquote


Second example: superusers get an extra line "UPDATE ..." that should not be there. Especially as it refers to the OID which would be different when recreating the user.
CREATE ROLE tester2 SUPERUSER;

=== quote
-- Role: "tester2"

-- DROP ROLE tester2;

CREATE ROLE tester2
 SUPERUSER INHERIT NOCREATEDB NOCREATEROLE;
UPDATE pg_authid SET rolcatupdate=true WHERE OID=3714960::oid;
=== unquote


Regards
Erwin
