Synopsis

Gathers Vertica database information.
This module was called vertica_facts before Ansible 2.9, returning ansible_facts. Note that the community.general.vertica_info module no longer returns ansible_facts!

Requirements

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

unixODBC
pyodbc

Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
cluster string	Default: "localhost"	Name of the cluster running the schema.
db string		Name of the database running the schema.
login_password string		The password used to authenticate with.
login_user string	Default: "dbadmin"	The username used to authenticate with.
port string	Default: 5433	Database port to connect to.

Notes

Note

The default authentication assumes that you are either logging in as or sudo’ing to the dbadmin account on the host.
This module uses pyodbc, a Python ODBC database adapter. You must ensure that unixODBC and pyodbc is installed on the host and properly configured.
Configuring unixODBC for Vertica requires Driver = /opt/vertica/lib64/libverticaodbc.so to be added to the Vertica section of either /etc/odbcinst.ini or $HOME/.odbcinst.ini and both ErrorMessagesPath = /opt/vertica/lib64 and DriverManagerEncoding = UTF-16 to be added to the Driver section of either /etc/vertica.ini or $HOME/.vertica.ini.

- name: Gathering vertica facts
  community.general.vertica_info: db=db_name
  register: result

- name: Print schemas
  ansible.builtin.debug:
    msg: "{{ result.vertica_schemas }}"
