PostgreSQL User Management

Update PostgreSQL username without password

This function renames a PostgreSQL® database user.

Warning:

  • If you rename a PostgreSQL user, you must set the password for the database user. This is required because of the md5 hash that PostgreSQL creates to store user passwords.
  • We strongly recommend that you use the Postgresql::rename_user function instead of this one.

Important:

When you disable the PostgreSQL role, the system disables this function.
