Create User

Hi,

I have this table:

CREATE TABLE users
(
userid varchar(100) NOT NULL,
nama varchar(50) NOT NULL,
pword varchar(255) NOT NULL,
groupe varchar(7) NOT NULL,
rolle int2 NOT NULL DEFAULT 2,
statux varchar(9) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'Active'::character varying,
CONSTRAINT users_pkey PRIMARY KEY (userid)
)
WITHOUT OIDS;

I created a trigger to create a user based on the new insert into the
table as follows:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION users_insert()
RETURNS "trigger" AS
$BODY$
BEGIN
CREATE USER NEW.userid WITH PASSWORD NEW.pword IN GROUP NEW.groupe;

RETURN new;
END;

$BODY$
LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' VOLATILE;

Surprisingly, I get this error message:

ERROR: syntax error at or near "$1" at character 14
QUERY: CREATE USER $1 WITH PASSWORD $2 IN GROUP $3
CONTEXT: SQL statement in PL/PgSQL function "users_insert" near line 10

I would appreciate your guidance.

Cheers.

Chris.
