Hello Ivan,
There are a couple of options for you.
First off, there is this thing called "PostgreSQL Documentation", it is a
part of the source distribution, but it can also be downloaded separately,
the file is called postgresql-docs-<version>.tar.bz2 in the PostgreSQL
download archives, and it documents all SQL commands available to the user
in much detail in subsection 7.1, "VI. Reference / I. SQL Commands".
If you're interested in a text focusing more on user and privilege
administration, you can also take a look at chapter 17., "Database users
and Privileges" of that same documentation bundle.
One very convenient option would be using the \h internal slash command of
your psql command-line client. Try "\h" on the line alone to get a full
list of SQL commands you have help available on, then, use, for example,
template1=# \h CREATE USER
Command: CREATE USER
Description: define a new database user account
Syntax:
CREATE USER name [ [ WITH ] option [ ... ] ]
where option can be:
SYSID uid
| [ ENCRYPTED | UNENCRYPTED ] PASSWORD 'password'
| CREATEDB | NOCREATEDB
| CREATEUSER | NOCREATEUSER
| IN GROUP groupname [, ...]
| VALID UNTIL 'abstime'
Hope this helped.
