[GENERAL] ALTER ROLE role-name-with-hyphen
Hi all - This is probably a new bee question... but, how do I change the password of a role that has a hyphen in the name? == $ createuser --no-superuser --createdb --no-createrole foo-bar $ psql Welcome to psql 8.3.0, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal. Type: \copyright for distribution terms \h for help with SQL commands \? for help with psql commands \g or terminate with semicolon to execute query \q to quit postgres=# ALTER USER foo-bar WITH ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'foo-bar'; ERROR: syntax error at or near - LINE 1: ALTER USER foo-bar WITH ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'foo-bar'; ^ == So I can create the role but I can't figure out how to modify it. I've tried a variety of quoting and backslashing and such, but no luck yet any ideas?

Read about SQL identifier syntax in the fine manual ... regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
