For more information see https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-createtablespace.html. When reset is passed as an option's value, if the option was set previously, it will be removed. | |

                    string
                                                                 | 
 | Tablespace state. state=present implies the tablespace must be created if it doesn't exist. state=absent implies the tablespace must be removed if present. state=absent is mutually exclusive with location, owner, i(set). See the Notes section for information about check mode restrictions. | 
| tablespace 
                    string
                                             / required                     | Name of the tablespace to add or remove. aliases: name | 
Notes¶
Note
- state=absent and state=present (the second one if the tablespace doesn’t exist) do not support check mode because the corresponding PostgreSQL DROP and CREATE TABLESPACE commands can not be run inside the transaction block.
- The default authentication assumes that you are either logging in as or sudo’ing to the postgresaccount on the host.
- To avoid “Peer authentication failed for user postgres” error, use postgres user as a become_user.
- This module uses psycopg2, a Python PostgreSQL database adapter. You must ensure that psycopg2 is installed on the host before using this module.
- If the remote host is the PostgreSQL server (which is the default case), then PostgreSQL must also be installed on the remote host.
- For Ubuntu-based systems, install the postgresql, libpq-dev, and python-psycopg2 packages on the remote host before using this module.
- The ca_cert parameter requires at least Postgres version 8.4 and psycopg2 version 2.4.3.
