Synopsis 

Add, update, or remove PostgreSQL subscription.

Requirements 

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

psycopg2

Parameters 

Parameter	Comments
ca_cert aliases: ssl_rootcert 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.
cascade boolean	Drop subscription dependencies. Has effect with state=absent only. Ignored when state is not `absent`. Choices: no ← (default) yes
connparams dictionary	The connection dict param-value to connect to the publisher. For more information see https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/libpq-connect.html#LIBPQ-CONNSTRING. Ignored when state is not `present`.
db aliases: login_db string / required	Name of the database to connect to and where the subscription state will be changed.
login_host string	Host running the database. If you have connection issues when using `localhost`, try to use `127.0.0.1` instead.
login_password string	The password this module should use to establish its PostgreSQL session.
login_unix_socket string	Path to a Unix domain socket for local connections.
login_user string	The username this module should use to establish its PostgreSQL session. Default: “postgres”
name string / required	Name of the subscription to add, update, or remove.
owner string	Subscription owner. If owner is not defined, the owner will be set as login_user or session_role. Ignored when state is not `present`.
port aliases: login_port integer	Database port to connect to. Default: 5432
publications list / elements=string	The publication names on the publisher to use for the subscription. Ignored when state is not `present`.
session_role string added in 0.2.0 of community.postgresql	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	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. Choices: allow disable prefer ← (default) require verify-ca verify-full
state string	The subscription state. `present` implies that if name subscription doesn’t exist, it will be created. `absent` implies that if name subscription exists, it will be removed. `refresh` implies that if name subscription exists, it will be refreshed. Fetch missing table information from publisher. Always returns `changed` is `True`. This will start replication of tables that were added to the subscribed-to publications since the last invocation of REFRESH PUBLICATION or since CREATE SUBSCRIPTION. The existing data in the publications that are being subscribed to should be copied once the replication starts. For more information about `refresh` see https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-altersubscription.html. Choices: absent present ← (default) refresh
subsparams dictionary	Dictionary of optional parameters for a subscription, e.g. copy_data, enabled, create_slot, etc. For update the subscription allowed keys are `enabled`, `slot_name`, `synchronous_commit`, `publication_name`. See available parameters to create a new subscription on https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-createsubscription.html. Ignored when state is not `present`.
trust_input boolean added in 0.2.0 of community.postgresql	If `no`, check whether values of parameters name, publications, owner, session_role, connparams, subsparams are potentially dangerous. It makes sense to use `yes` only when SQL injections via the parameters are possible. Choices: no yes ← (default)

Notes 

Note

PostgreSQL version must be 10 or greater.
Supports check_mode.
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.
