Parameters

IDENTIFIED BY: Used to CREATE USER statement compatible with Oracle. option_for_oracle that only syntax support is provided, not function support. In order to be compatible with the Oracle grant function, it is not allowed to CREATE USER with the names of 'connect' and 'resource' in Oracle mode. It must be used in Oracle database.

Description

CREATE USER is now an alias for CREATE ROLE. The only difference is that when the command is spelled CREATE USER, LOGIN is assumed by default, whereas NOLOGIN is assumed when the command is spelled CREATE ROLE.

Compatibility

The CREATE USER statement is a LightDB extension. The SQL standard leaves the definition of users to the implementation.
