On psql 8.1, `pg_catalog.shobj_description` does not exist. Also, if the
database to comment is not the current db then this warning will be
raised and the comment will not be applied: `WARNING: database comments
may only be applied to the current database`
This fix uses the pg_* databases to find the comment based on the
database oid rather than the shared object description function.

The postgresql user is created by the server package, but this file
resource may be evaluated before the package is installed resulting in
permission failures.
The change introduced in b781849882 added
a complex operation that was not handled correctly for all operating
systems. This fix includes the following corrections:
- Change the systemd config and reload systemd for datadir changes in
RHEL 7, and move configuration for this into
postgresql::server::config since it is managing both the PGDATA and
PGPORT variables
- Make sure Debian systems stop the service before changing the datadir
- Recreate cert links after running initdb in Debian and early ubuntu
- Change the port in the port spec to avoid selinux issues
- Turn off selinux in pgdata spec to avoid selinux issues
- Correct syntax for describing presence of a directory in pgdata spec
- Move the pgdata spec to the end of the tests so that puppet doesn't
have to manager purging and recreating the original datadir
- Update README to describe all caveats of using this parameter
Ensure that data_directory is set in the config. per GitHub user tbd - PR#510 / PR#494 that was filed against wrong module branch"
Adds acceptance test for non default PGDATA, based on alternative_port_spec.rb
Fixes unit test for data directory
This defined type helps create database schemas, and assign them to an
`owner`. It is closely modeled after Postgresql::Server::Tablespace.
It uses PostgreSQL's builtin IF NOT EXISTS to guarantee idempotency.
(>= 9.3, else it checks pg_namespace).
n.b.: This defined type *requires* that a `db` is passed. This is a
concious design decision, since we find it rather useless to create such
schemas in the default `postgres` database, and if *were* useful, one
can always "over-specify".
This addresses MODULES-1098.
This is likely to be a controversial change so I wanted to put some
explanation of our reasoning into the commit message. This gets
kind of complex so I'll start with the problem and then the reasoning.
Problem:
We rely heavily on the ability to uninstall and reinstall postgres
throughout our testing code, testing features like "can I move from the
distribution packages to the upstream packages through the module" and
over time we've learnt that the uninstall code simply doesn't work a lot
of the time. It leaves traces of postgres behind or fails to remove
certain packages on Ubuntu, and generally causes bits to be left on your
system that you didn't expect.
When we then reinstall things fail because it's not a true clean slate,
and this causes us enormous problems during test. We've spent weeks and
months working on these tests and they simply don't hold up well across
the full range of PE platforms.
Reasoning:
Due to all these problems we've decided to take a stance on uninstalling
in general. We feel that in 2014 it's completely reasonable and normal
to have a good provisioning pipeline combined with your configuration
management and the "correct" way to uninstall a fully installed service
like postgresql is to simply reprovision the server without it in the
first place. As a general rule this is how I personally like to work
and I think is a good practice.
WAIT A MINUTE:
We understand that there are environments and situations in which it's
not easy to do that. What if you accidently deployed Postgres on
100,000 nodes? When this work is finished I'm going to take a look at
building some example 'profiles' to be found under examples/ within this
module that can uninstall postgres on popular platforms. These can be
modified and used in your specific case to uninstall postgresql. They
will be much more brute force and reliant on deleting entire directories
and require you to do more work up front in specifying where things are
installed but we think it'll prove to be a much cleaner mechanism for
this kind of thing rather than trying to weave it into the main module
logic itself.
This doesn't fix the root cause of the issue, such as the fact that
dpkg can't do wildcard removals, and the uninstall fails when you're
passing in a version number like this, but THIS test doesn't care, it
just wants to make sure the deprecation warning appears in the first
place.
This does however make the tests pass on 14.04.
The validate_db_connection class takes a user to connect as, but if we're
using the progresql::server::db defined type then the user might not be
created yet, and might not have any permissions granted yet. This patch
users a collector to ensure that the that the user and grants are active
before validating.
