percona_mysql_database

Manage Percona MySQL databases and execute SQL queries on them. It works by establishing a control connection to the Percona server using the percona client (be sure it is installed before using this resource).

Actions

create - (default) to create a named database
drop - to drop a named database
query - to execute a SQL query

Properties

Name	Types	Description	Default	Required?
`user`	String	the username of the control connection	`root`	no
`password`	String	password of the user used to connect to		no
`host`	String	host to connect to	`localhost`	no
`port`	String	port of the host to connect to	`3306`	no
`database_name`	String	the name of the database to manage	`name` if not specified	no
`encoding`	String		`utf8`	no
`collation`	String		`utf8_general_ci`	no
`sql`	String	the SQL query to execute		no

When host has the value localhost, it will try to connect using a Unix socket, or TCP/IP if no socket is defined.

Examples

# Create a database
percona_mysql_database 'wordpress-cust01' do
  host '127.0.0.1'
  user 'root'
  password node['wordpress-cust01']['mysql']['initial_root_password']
  action :create
end
 
# Drop a database
percona_mysql_database 'baz' do
  action :drop
end
 
# Query a database
percona_mysql_database 'flush the privileges' do
  sql 'flush privileges'
  action :query
end

The query action will NOT select a database before running the query, nor return the actual results from the SQL query.
