CREATE_GROUP(7pg17)

💖 CREATE GROUP(7) — the PostgreSQL 17.11 glow-up 💖

okay so bestie, real talk: you're looking at the CREATE GROUP page from the PostgreSQL 17.11 docs, and it's honestly a short one — but we're gonna make it iconic anyway 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

CREATE_GROUP — define a new database role 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

CREATE GROUP name [ [ WITH ] option [ ... ] ]

where option can be:

      SUPERUSER | NOSUPERUSER
    | CREATEDB | NOCREATEDB
    | CREATEROLE | NOCREATEROLE
    | INHERIT | NOINHERIT
    | LOGIN | NOLOGIN
    | REPLICATION | NOREPLICATION
    | BYPASSRLS | NOBYPASSRLS
    | CONNECTION LIMIT connlimit
    | [ ENCRYPTED ] PASSWORD 'password' | PASSWORD NULL
    | VALID UNTIL 'timestamp'
    | IN ROLE role_name [, ...]
    | IN GROUP role_name [, ...]
    | ROLE role_name [, ...]
    | ADMIN role_name [, ...]
    | USER role_name [, ...]
    | SYSID uid

like, yes, that's a lot of options — copy it exactly, don't freestyle it, i'm begging 🙈

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so here's the tea: CREATE GROUP is now basically just an alias for CREATE ROLE (CREATE_ROLE(7)). that's it. that's the whole plot 💀

literally — same energy, different name. so if you want the real lore, go read CREATE_ROLE(7), because this page is giving "rebrand" and not much else 👑

---

🌈 COMPATIBILITY 🌈

ngl, the SQL standard has no CREATE GROUP statement. none. zero. not a single one. so if you're out here expecting standard compliance, bestie… no 💀

---

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

• CREATE ROLE (CREATE_ROLE(7)) — the main character this whole page is pointing at ⭐

---

ok quick vibe check: nothing here is dangerous, deprecated, or undefined — it's just a cute little alias. but fr fr, if you need the actual option behaviour, CREATE_ROLE(7) is where you live now 🫶

and that's the whole page, bestie — no cap 🧚 this lil doc came to you from PostgreSQL 17.11, dated 2026 — mwah, slay, periodt 💜🎀
