When the psql command runs from a directory it does not have permission to
access, it outputs an error. This error trips up the unless SQL command,
causing the other SQL commands to run even if not needed. Rather than ignore
stderr (which might hide something else), or use an arbitrary directory like
/tmp, this code sets the cwd to the data directory, which will exist and be
owned by the postgres user. If someone uses the postgres_psql type and
customises the psql_user parameter, they should also set an appropriate cwd.
This commit provides a working implementation of a ruby
type/provider (`postgresql_psql` for handling the PSQL
commands. This is a little more flexible than doing it
via Exec resources, which is what the `postgresql::psql`
type was doing.
The old type is still present but now includes a
deprecation notification, and all of the other types
that were using the `::psql` type have been ported over
to use the `postgresql_psql` type instead.
This will allow characters such as '-' in database role
names. Additionally, escaping of '"' characters now applies to all '"'
characters, not just the first in a sql command.
This commit adds a postgresql::db type for convenience;
it mirrors the 'db' type from the mysql module, which
allows you to create a database instance and user plus
grant privileges to that user all in one succint
resource.
This commit also improves security in the following ways:
* Revoke "CONNECT" privilege from the 'public' role for
newly created databases; without this, any database
created via this module will allow connections from
any database user, and will allow them to do things
like create tables.
* Change to a 'reject'-based policy for dealing with
remote connections by the postgres user in pg_hba.conf.
Prior to this commit, if you tried to restrict access
to the postgres user by IP, the rule would simply not
match for disallowed IPs; then it would fall through
to the rule for "all" users, which could still match
and thus allow the postgres user to connect remotely.
Renamed a few files and made some tweaks to try to get
database_grant, database_user, and database types into
a state where they work very similarly to the ones in
the mysql module. Also introduced a "postgresql_password"
function that can be used to generate an md5 password
hash for a postgres user.
