Hi,
AFAIK, PostgreSQL does not allow hyphens in usernames and databases,
right?
template1=# SELECT version();
version
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PostgreSQL 8.0.3 on i686-redhat-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC gcc (GCC)
3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-42)
(1 row)
template1=# CREATE DATABASE hyphen-test;
ERROR: syntax error at or near "-" at character 22
LINE 1: CREATE DATABASE hyphen-test;
^
This is the same for users;
template1=# CREATE USER hyphen-test;
ERROR: syntax error at or near "-" at character 18
LINE 1: CREATE USER hyphen-test;
^
However, createuser allows us to create users that include a hyphen:
# createuser hyphen-test -U postgres
Shall the new user be allowed to create databases? (y/n) n
Shall the new user be allowed to create more new users? (y/n) n
Password:
CREATE USER
but it is not allowed in CREATE DATABASE syntax:
template1=# CREATE DATABASE hyphen_test with owner hyphen-test;
ERROR: syntax error at or near "-" at character 46
LINE 1: CREATE DATABASE hyphen_test with owner hyphen-test;
template1=# SELECT * from pg_shadow WHERE usename='hyphen-test';
usename | usesysid | usecreatedb | usesuper | usecatupd | passwd |
valuntil | useconfig
- -------------+----------+-------------+----------+-----------+--------+----------+-----------
hyphen-test | 103 | f | f | f | |
|
(1 row)
Is it a bug in createuser or am I missing a point? Same applies to
createdb:
# createdb hyphen-test -U postgres
Password:
CREATE DATABASE
