Hi Edwin
You can use \prompt for this reason, following is the example.
You first use the \prompt to get the password and store into a variable
You can then user CREATE USER Command and supply the variable used with \prompt to provide the password.
I hope this helps.
=# \prompt 'Enter password for new user: ' new_user_password
Enter password for new user: test
# CREATE USER spongebob WITH ENCRYPTED PASSWORD :'new_user_password';
CREATE ROLE

Hi,
Is createuser the only one I can use to create a user where it prompts for a password? There is no alteruser though.
I want to use psql and \prompt but am lost on how to use it.
Basically just want to use it for running a psql script like for example - ALTER USER spongebob WITH ENCRYPTED PASSWORD ':newpassword';
Regards,
Ed
