Unless you're actually building an administration engine for Postgres, it's a loaded foot gun with pretty serious security implications. I'd suggest you not do it this way. If you _do_ do it this way, then your application must have superuser access, which means you can read the slony schema. That means you could connect to the other database engine(s) and add the users there, too. -- Andrew Sullivan | ajs at crankycanuck.ca You may save him from referring to variables in another package, but you can't save him from writing a badly designed program to solve the wrong problem, and taking forever to do it. --Paul Graham
