postgresql_ext - Add or remove PostgreSQL extensions from a database.¶

New in version 1.9.

Synopsis ¶

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

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
db required		name of the database to add or remove the extension to/from
login_host	Default: localhost	Host running the database
login_password		The password used to authenticate with
login_user		The username used to authenticate with
name required		name of the extension to add or remove
port	Default: 5432	Database port to connect to.

Note

The default authentication assumes that you are either logging in as or sudo’ing to the postgres account on the host.
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.
