Resource Mysql Client

mysql_client

The mysql_client resource manages the MySQL client binaries and development libraries.

It is an example of a "singleton" resource. Declaring two mysql_client resources on a machine usually won't yield two separate copies of the client binaries, except for platforms that support multiple versions (RHEL SCL, OmniOS).

Example

mysql_client 'default' do
  action :create
end

Properties

  • package_name - An array of packages to be installed. Defaults to a value looked up in an internal map.
  • package_version - Specific versions of the package to install, passed onto the underlying package manager. Defaults to nil.
  • version - Major MySQL version number of client packages. Only valid on for platforms that support multiple versions, such as RHEL via Software Collections and OmniOS.

Actions

  • :create - Installs the client software
  • :delete - Removes the client software
