There are two commands showing the same information about roles: \du and

I would add \dr as the new official command to complement adding \drg and deprecate both \du and \dg. Though actual removal and de-documenting doesn't seem like a good idea. But if we ever did assign something non-role to \dr it would be very confusing.
It's my mistake and inattention. I was thinking about '\du' and '\dg', and wrote about '\du' and '\dr'.
I agree that \dr and \drg the best names.
So, now concentrating on implementing \drg.
* The new meta-command will also make sense for versions <16.
The ADMIN OPTION is available in all supported versions.
Doesn't every role pre-16 gain SET permission? We can also deduce whether the grant provides INHERIT based upon the attribute of the role in question.
Indeed! I will do so.
* The new meta-command will not show all roles. It will only show the
roles included in other roles.
To show all roles you need to add an outer join between pg_roles and
pg_auth_members.
But all columns except "role" will be left blank. Is it worth doing this?
I'm inclined to want this. I would be good when specifying a role to filter upon that all rows that do exist matching that filter end up in the output regardless if they are standalone or not.
Ok
