The WITH PASSWORD clause sets the user's password within
the "<filename>pg_shadow</filename>" table. For this reason,
<filename>"pg_shadow</filename>" is no
longer accessible to the instance of PostgreSQL that the
PostgreSQL user's password is initially set to NULL.
<comment>The text here has got garbled.</comment>
When a
user's password in the "<filename>pg_shadow</filename>"
table is NULL, user
authentication proceeds as it historically has (HBA,
PG_PASSWORD, etc). However, if a password is set for a
user, a new authentication system supplants any other
configured for the PostgreSQL instance, and the password
stored in the "<filename>pg_shadow</filename>" table is used
for authentication.
For more details on how this authentication system
functions see pg_crypt(3). If the WITH PASSWORD clause is
omitted, the user's password is set to the empty
string with equates to a NULL value in the authentication
system mentioned above.

These clauses define a user's ability to create databases.
If CREATEDB is specified, the user being defined will
be allowed to create his own databases. Using NOCREATEDB
will deny a user the ability to create databases. If this
clause is omitted, NOCREATEDB is used by default.

These clauses determine whether a user will be permitted to

The VALID UNTIL clause sets an absolute time after which the
user's PostgreSQL login is no longer valid. Please note that
if a user does not have a password defined in the
"<filename>pg_shadow</filename>"
table, the valid until date will not be checked
during user authentication. If this clause is omitted,
a NULL value is stored in "<filename>pg_shadow</filename>"
for this attribute,
and the login will be valid for all time.

<PARA>
CREATE USER will add a new user to an instance of PostgreSQL.
</PARA>
<PARA>
The new user will be given a <filename>usesysid</filename> of:
'<command>SELECT MAX(usesysid) + 1 FROM pg_shadow</command>'.
This means that
PostgreSQL users' <filename>usesysid</filename>s will not
correspond to their operating
system(OS) user ids. The exception to this rule is
the '<literal>postgres</literal>' user, whose OS user id
is used as the
<filename>usesysid</filename> during the initdb process.
If you still want the
OS user id and the <filename>usesysid</filename> to match
for any given user,
use the "createuser" script provided with the PostgreSQL
distribution.

<TITLE>
Description
</TITLE>
<PARA>
DECLARE allows a user to create cursors, which can be used to retrieve
a small number of rows at a time out of a larger query. Cursors can return
data either in ASCII or in binary foramt.
</PARA>
<PARA>
Normal cursors return data in ASCII format. Since
data is stored natively in binary format, the system must
do a conversion to produce the ASCII format. In addition,
ASCII formats are often larger in size than binary format.
Once the information comes back in ASCII, the client
application often has to convert it to a binary format to
manipulate it anyway.
</PARA>
<PARA>
BINARY cursors give you back the data in the native binary
representation. So binary cursors will tend to be a
little faster since they suffer less conversion overhead.
For example, for an integer column, you get a C integer number like ^A
using a binary cursor, while you get a string value like '1'
using the non binary cursor.
</PARA>
<PARA>
However, ASCII is architecture-neutral whereas binary
representation can differ between different machine architectures.
Therefore, if your client machine and server machine use different
representations, you will probably not want your data returned in
binary format.
Again, if you intend to display the data in
ASCII, getting it back in ASCII will save you some
effort on the client side.
