We are already doing something similar for username, refer below line: printfPQExpBuffer(&sql, "CREATE ROLE %s", fmtId(newuser)); Here fmtId() is doing handling for quotes. Now for new syntax IN ROLE, the difference is that it can have multiple strings which needs additional handling. I think some similar handling should be there in server, pg_dump as well. > I suspect that the apparatus needed to do a thorough solution (e.g. - > parse the string, and do something > "smarter") may be larger than is worth getting into. I think if it needs some bigger solution then we can leave it by having small note in documentation, but if it's just a matter of calling some existing functions or mimic some handling done at other place, then it is worth trying.
