NAME

       cdist-type__postgres_extension - Manage PostgreSQL extensions

DESCRIPTION

       This cdist type allows you to manage PostgreSQL extensions.

       The __object_id to pass to __postgres_extension is of the form dbname:extension, e.g.:

          rails_test:unaccent

       CAUTION! Be careful when installing extensions from (untrusted) third-party sources:
          Installing an extension as superuser requires trusting that the extension's
          author wrote the extension installation script in a secure fashion. It is
          not terribly difficult for a malicious user to create trojan-horse objects
          that will compromise later execution of a carelessly-written extension
          script, allowing that user to acquire superuser privileges.

OPTIONAL PARAMETERS

       state  either present or absent, defaults to present.

EXAMPLES

          # Install extension unaccent into database rails_test
          __postgres_extension rails_test:unaccent

          # Drop extension unaccent from database fails_test
          __postgres_extension rails_test:unaccent --state absent
