postgresql_owner – Change an owner of PostgreSQL database object¶
New in version 2.8.
Synopsis¶
- Change an owner of PostgreSQL database object.
- Also allows to reassign the ownership of database objects owned by a database role to another role.
Parameters¶
Notes¶
Note
- 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.
