MySQL is to SQL like MongoDB to NoSQL

An hba file is one of the configuration files. The converse question would be: What is a my.cnf file? How am I supposed to know what it does? The answer is the same for both: RTFM

The CREATE USER issue is just bad faith on your part. It is a de-facto standard, used by Oracle, Transact-SQL and ironically MySQL.

In the end, your complain boils down to:

1. Having to edit pg_hba replacing "ident" with "password"

2. Unfamiliarity with pgsql opposed to familiarity with mysql

A developer that chooses tools primarily based on familiarity is on the slippery slope to dinosaur land. Not that it's bad -- Cobol development still pays well to this day.

I'm not talking about "CREATE USER", I'm talking about /usr/sbin/createuser (or whatever it is installed in your system)

"A developer that chooses tools primarily based on familiarity "

Yes, let me waste time to learn how to use the latest fad on HN, sure (not talking about PostgreSQL here)

And PostgreSQL is made of unicorn blood and my projects will be 200% better if I use it instead of MySQL, sure.

It's a DB. There's a narrow range where it would make a difference to use it instead of scaling to more servers, for example. And you can "always" convert later. (Unless you're FB apparently)
