used this text for the --username option: -U username --username=username Selects the user name of the bootstrap superuser. This defaults to the name of the cluster owner. This seems wrong since the cluster owner doesn't exist until the cluster is created. The text exists in PG 16 and master. The attached patch fixes this. -- Bruce Momjian <br...@momjian.us> https://momjian.us EDB https://enterprisedb.com Only you can decide what is important to you.
