Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
ca_cert 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. aliases: ssl_rootcert
db string		Name of database to connect to. aliases: login_db
fail_on_role boolean	Choices: no yes ←	If yes, fail when reassign_owned_by role does not exist. Otherwise just warn and continue. Mutually exclusive with obj_name and obj_type.
login_host string		Host running the database.
login_password string		The password used to authenticate with.
login_unix_socket string		Path to a Unix domain socket for local connections.
login_user string	Default: "postgres"	The username used to authenticate with.
new_owner string / required		Role (user/group) to set as an obj_name owner.
obj_name string		Name of a database object to change ownership. Mutually exclusive with reassign_owned_by.
obj_type string / required	Choices: database function matview sequence schema table tablespace view	Type of a database object. Mutually exclusive with reassign_owned_by. aliases: type
port integer	Default: 5432	Database port to connect to. aliases: login_port
reassign_owned_by list / elements=string		The list of role names. The ownership of all the objects within the current database, and of all shared objects (databases, tablespaces), owned by this role(s) will be reassigned to owner. Pay attention - it reassigns all objects owned by this role(s) in the db! If role(s) exists, always returns changed True. Cannot reassign ownership of objects that are required by the database system. Mutually exclusive with obj_type.
session_role string		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	Choices: allow disable prefer ← require verify-ca verify-full	Determines whether or with what priority a secure SSL TCP/IP connection will be negotiated with the server. See 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.
