Summary

Updates README.md documentation to reflect current PostgreSQL version support and documents the new role management features.

Changes

PostgreSQL version updates

  • Update PostgreSQL client installation from version 12 to 18
  • Update requirements text to reference PostgreSQL 18 as latest release
  • Improve wording to be more generic and future-proof

New documentation section

  • Add "Key Features" section documenting r1/r2 role management tools
  • Explain security benefits:
    • Prevents password exposure in psql history
    • Avoids command-line arguments
    • Uses interactive prompts
  • Include usage example with step-by-step instructions
  • Add security note clarifying these are DBA tools for trusted environments

Context

The README contained outdated references to PostgreSQL 12 as the "latest version", which needed updating to reflect support for PostgreSQL 18. Additionally, the newly added role management features (r1/r2) from PR #68 were not documented in the README.

- Update PostgreSQL client installation from version 12 to 18
- Update requirements to reference PostgreSQL 18 as latest
- Add Key Features section documenting r1/r2 role management tools
- Include usage examples and security notes for role management

Closing this PR as the changes were already pushed directly to master (commit a6c8221). The repository's branch protection rules prevent removing the direct commit, so this PR is redundant.
