Обсуждение: role attributes are missing from this page
The following documentation comment has been logged on the website: Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/14/role-attributes.html Description: Issue #1: "old" is a keyword, but I cannot query the old column explicitely with surrounding quotes. SELECT "old" FROM pg_roles; Issue #2: You do not have ALL role attributes documented on this page. Please add and document the missing role attributes. https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/role-attributes.html This is a list of all role attributes: SELECT rolname,rolsuper,rolinherit,rolcreaterole,rolcreatedb,rolcanlogin,rolreplication,rolconnlimit,rolpassword,rolvaliduntil,rolbypassrls,rolconfig,"old" FROM pg_roles; These role attributes are documented: SELECT rolcanlogin,rolsuper,rolcreatedb,rolcreaterole,rolreplication,rolpassword FROM pg_roles; These role attributes are NOT documented: SELECT rolname,rolsuper,rolinherit,rolconnlimit,,rolvaliduntil,rolbypassrls,rolconfig,"old" FROM pg_roles; SELECT "old" FROM pg_roles;

Thanks! Because I'm getting oid, I might need glasses.

Look closer. That column is "oid" not "old".

AFAICS this page is merely trying to document the role properties that
can reasonably be considered to be kinds of privileges. I don't have
a problem with it not mentioning role name or password, for example.
In any case, if you want a full list of what is in the pg_roles view,
the place to look is under the system views documentation:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/view-pg-roles.html
role-attributes.html is not intended to be a substitute for that.
