cdist-type__postgres_extension7

Manage postgresql extensions

Overview

This cdist type allows you to manage PostgreSQL extensions.

The __object_id to pass to __postgres_extension is of the form dbname:extension, e.g.:

rails_test:unaccent

CAUTION! Be careful when installing extensions from (untrusted) third-party sources:

Installing an extension as superuser requires trusting that the extension's
author wrote the extension installation script in a secure fashion. It is
not terribly difficult for a malicious user to create trojan-horse objects
that will compromise later execution of a carelessly-written extension
script, allowing that user to acquire superuser privileges.

Optional parameters

state

either present or absent, defaults to present.

Examples

# Install extension unaccent into database rails_test
__postgres_extension rails_test:unaccent
# Drop extension unaccent from database fails_test
__postgres_extension rails_test:unaccent --state absent
