use pg_roles instead of pg_authid #1
Conversation
The view pg_roles provides access to information about database roles. This is simply a publicly readable view of pg_authid that blanks out the password field. (http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/view-pg-roles.html)

Hi Sverre, thanks for your contribution. I can see the value in your proposed change but unfortunately this would break compatibility with PostgreSQL v8.1 - 8.4 which does not support Can you think of a way we could default to |
|
I don't have a running 8.1 - 8.4 database to check, so I only checked in the postgres docs before making the change. But according to http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/view-pg-roles.html pg_roles should also be supported for v8. |

Yes, you're correct. I misread the context of 'unsupported versions' in the documentation. Thanks again. |
|
I like the new commits you've added (since e3f2fb7), but can please raise future patches as separate pull requests? |
