Ansible Role: mysql_query
===================

Ansible module to set values in a mysql table, or insert records. Useful for web-applications that store configurations in database. E.g. icingaweb2 requires the initial user to be inserted into the database. The install-wizard could do it, but with ansible you want to automate installation ;)

Listed at Ansible Galaxy Page as [zauberpony.mysql-query](https://galaxy.ansible.com/zauberpony/mysql-query/).

Install
-------

Install via ansible-galaxy, `ansible-galaxy install zauberpony.mysql-query`, or manually put the file *mysql_query* into your *roles_path*.

### Requirements:

python bindings for mysql (just like the core mysql_* modules):

- MySQLdb (Python 2.x only)
- PyMySQL (Python 2.7 and python 3.x)

Example playbook
----------------

### A complete example that ensures a record is present in a given table.

```yaml

---
- hosts: all
roles:
- zauberpony.mysql-query
tasks:
- name: insert a row
mysql_query:
name: ansible-playbook-example
table: simple_table
login_host: ::1
login_user: root
login_password: password
identifiers:
id: 14
email: '[email protected]'
values:
role: "admin"
department: 'IT'
defaults:
password: "secret"
last_login: 1469264933
```

Given a table `simple_table` with columns (*id*, *email*, *role*, *department*, *password*, *last_login*), this example would:
- Look for a row *where id = 14 and email = '[email protected]'*
- if the row does not exist: insert a row with id=14, email='[email protected]', role="admin", department="IT", password="secret", last_login=1469264933
- if the row does exist: check if the ***values*** (role, department) match the given values, if not: update

Thus:
- *identifiers* are being used to check for existence and to find a row
- *defaults* are being used as default values if the row is not present (i.e.: only used for insert)
- *values* are the state of the row that ansible ensures

### A complete example that ensures a record is not present in a given table.

```yaml

---
- hosts: all
roles:
- zauberpony.mysql-query
tasks:
- name: insert a row
mysql_query:
state: absent
name: ansible-playbook-example
table: simple_table
login_host: ::1
login_user: root
login_password: password
identifiers:
id: 14
email: '[email protected]'
```

### Running the examples from sources

Make sure you have a running mysql server (e.g.: use the *docker-compose.yml*-file) and update the connection-parameters if necessary.

Run via `ansible-playbook -i demo.yml` (or even simpler `./demo.yml`) and undo (to start all over) with `ansible-playbook -i reset.yml`.

After running `./demo.yml`, you can run `./checkmode-demo.yml -C` to test ansible's [check mode](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks_checkmode.html).
Just run `./demo.yml` and `./checkmode-demo.yml` a few times with `-C` and without `-C` to get a feel for it.
