Once upon a time we did not have a separate CREATEROLE privilege, and CREATEUSER effectively meant SUPERUSER. When we invented CREATEROLE (in 8.1) we also added SUPERUSER so as to have a less confusing keyword for this role property. However, we left CREATEUSER in place as a deprecated synonym for SUPERUSER, because of backwards-compatibility concerns. It's still there and is still confusing people, as for example in bug #13694 from Justin Catterson. 9.6 will be ten years or so later, which surely ought to be long enough to end the deprecation and just remove these old keywords. Hence, do so. |

src/backend/parser/README Parser ====== This directory does more than tokenize and parse SQL queries. It also creates Query structures for the various complex queries that are passed to the optimizer and then executor. parser.c things start here scan.l break query into tokens scansup.c handle escapes in input strings kwlookup.c turn keywords into specific tokens keywords.c table of standard keywords (passed to kwlookup.c) gram.y parse the tokens and produce a "raw" parse tree analyze.c top level of parse analysis for optimizable queries parse_agg.c handle aggregates, like SUM(col1), AVG(col2), ... parse_clause.c handle clauses like WHERE, ORDER BY, GROUP BY, ... parse_coerce.c handle coercing expressions to different data types parse_collate.c assign collation information in completed expressions parse_cte.c handle Common Table Expressions (WITH clauses) parse_expr.c handle expressions like col, col + 3, x = 3 or x = 4 parse_func.c handle functions, table.column and column identifiers parse_node.c create nodes for various structures parse_oper.c handle operators in expressions parse_param.c handle Params (for the cases used in the core backend) parse_relation.c support routines for tables and column handling parse_target.c handle the result list of the query parse_type.c support routines for data type handling parse_utilcmd.c parse analysis for utility commands (done at execution time)
