Yeah, it's a bad situation. I think --role is basically misnamed. Something like --add-to-group would have been clearer, but that also has the problem of being inconsistent with the SQL command. The whole ROLE vs. IN ROLE thing is inherently quite confusing, I think. It's very easy to get confused about which direction the membership arrows are pointing. -- Robert Haas EDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com
