From 818ab0116ab35262bf6f8f2f707e2bb44f240b69 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Naylor Date: Wed, 7 Jan 2026 16:02:19 +0700 Subject: [PATCH] createuser: Update docs to reflect defaults Commit c7eab0e97 changed the default password_encryption setting to 'scram-sha-256', so update the example for creating a user with an assigned password. In addition, commit 08951a7c9 added new options that in turn pass default tokens NOBYPASSRLS and NOREPLICATION to the CREATE ROLE command, so fix this omission as well for v16 and later.
