Synopsis

  • Add, update, or remove PostgreSQL publication.

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

  • psycopg2

Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments

ca_cert

string

Specifies the name of a file containing SSL certificate authority (CA) certificate(s).

If the file exists, the server's certificate will be verified to be signed by one of these authorities.


aliases: ssl_rootcert

cascade

boolean

  • no

  • yes

Drop publication dependencies. Has effect with state=absent only.

db

string

Name of the database to connect to and where the publication state will be changed.


aliases: login_db

login_host

string

Host running the database.

login_password

string

The password used to authenticate with.

login_unix_socket

string

Path to a Unix domain socket for local connections.

login_user

string

Default:

"postgres"

The username used to authenticate with.

name

string / required

Name of the publication to add, update, or remove.

owner

string

Publication owner.

If owner is not defined, the owner will be set as login_user or session_role.

parameters

dictionary

Dictionary with optional publication parameters.

Available parameters depend on PostgreSQL version.

port

integer

Default:

5432

Database port to connect to.


aliases: login_port

session_role

string

added in 0.2.0 of community.general

Switch to session_role after connecting. The specified session_role must be a role that the current login_user is a member of.

Permissions checking for SQL commands is carried out as though the session_role were the one that had logged in originally.

ssl_mode

string

  • allow
  • disable
  • prefer

  • require
  • verify-ca
  • verify-full

Determines whether or with what priority a secure SSL TCP/IP connection will be negotiated with the server.

See https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/libpq-ssl.html for more information on the modes.

Default of prefer matches libpq default.

state

string

  • absent
  • present

The publication state.

tables

list / elements=string

List of tables to add to the publication.

If no value is set all tables are targeted.

If the publication already exists for specific tables and tables is not passed, nothing will be changed. If you need to add all tables to the publication with the same name, drop existent and create new without passing tables.

trust_input

boolean

added in 0.2.0 of community.general

  • no
  • yes

If no, check whether values of parameters name, tables, owner, session_role, params are potentially dangerous.

It makes sense to use no only when SQL injections via the parameters are possible.



Notes

Note

  • PostgreSQL version must be 10 or greater.
  • The default authentication assumes that you are either logging in as or sudo’ing to the postgres account on the host.
  • To avoid “Peer authentication failed for user postgres” error, use postgres user as a become_user.
  • This module uses psycopg2, a Python PostgreSQL database adapter. You must ensure that psycopg2 is installed on the host before using this module.
  • If the remote host is the PostgreSQL server (which is the default case), then PostgreSQL must also be installed on the remote host.
  • For Ubuntu-based systems, install the postgresql, libpq-dev, and python-psycopg2 packages on the remote host before using this module.
  • The ca_cert parameter requires at least Postgres version 8.4 and psycopg2 version 2.4.3.
