Re: check user in group

Hello

you can try

create or replace function is_member_of(text, text) returns boolean as $$
select exists(select rolname from pg_catalog.pg_auth_members m JOIN
pg_catalog.pg_roles b ON m.roleid = b.oid where m.member = (select oid
from pg_roles where rolname = $1) and rolname = $2)
$$ language sql ;

postgres=# select is_member_of('pavel','admin');
is_member_of
--------------
t
(1 row)
