Synopsis

Add or remove MySQL databases from a remote host.

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

MySQLdb (Python 2.x)
PyMySQL (Python 2.7 and Python 3.X), or
mysql (command line binary)
mysqldump (command line binary)

Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
collation	Default: None	Collation mode (sorting). This only applies to new table/databases and does not update existing ones, this is a limitation of MySQL.
config_file (added in 2.0)	Default: ~/.my.cnf	Specify a config file from which user and password are to be read.
connect_timeout (added in 2.1)	Default: 30	The connection timeout when connecting to the MySQL server.
encoding	Default: None	Encoding mode to use, examples include `utf8` or `latin1_swedish_ci`
login_host	Default: localhost	Host running the database.
login_password	Default: None	The password used to authenticate with.
login_port	Default: 3306	Port of the MySQL server. Requires login_host be defined as other then localhost if login_port is used.
login_unix_socket	Default: None	The path to a Unix domain socket for local connections.
login_user	Default: None	The username used to authenticate with.
name required	Default: None	name of the database to add or remove name=all May only be provided if state is `dump` or `import`. if name=all Works like --all-databases option for mysqldump (Added in 2.0) aliases: db
quick (added in 2.1)	Default: yes	Option used for dumping large tables
single_transaction (added in 2.1)	Default: no	Execute the dump in a single transaction
ssl_ca (added in 2.0)	Default: None	The path to a Certificate Authority (CA) certificate. This option, if used, must specify the same certificate as used by the server.
ssl_cert (added in 2.0)	Default: None	The path to a client public key certificate.
ssl_key (added in 2.0)	Default: None	The path to the client private key.
state	Choices: present ← absent dump import	The database state
target		Location, on the remote host, of the dump file to read from or write to. Uncompressed SQL files (`.sql`) as well as bzip2 (`.bz2`), gzip (`.gz`) and xz (Added in 2.0) compressed files are supported.

Notes

Note

Requires the PyMySQL (Python 2.7 and Python 3.X) or MySQL-python (Python 2.X) package on the remote host, as well as mysql and mysqldump binaries.
This module is not idempotent when state is import, and will import the dump file each time if run more than once.
Requires the PyMySQL (Python 2.7 and Python 3.X) or MySQL-python (Python 2.X) Python package on the remote host. For Ubuntu, this is as easy as apt-get install python-pymysql. (See apt.) For CentOS/Fedora, this is as easy as yum install python2-PyMySQL. (See yum.)
Both login_password and login_user are required when you are passing credentials. If none are present, the module will attempt to read the credentials from ~/.my.cnf, and finally fall back to using the MySQL default login of ‘root’ with no password.

Examples

- name: Create a new database with name 'bobdata'
  mysql_db:
    name: bobdata
    state: present

# Copy database dump file to remote host and restore it to database 'my_db'
- name: Copy database dump file
  copy:
    src: dump.sql.bz2
    dest: /tmp
- name: Restore database
  mysql_db:
    name: my_db
    state: import
    target: /tmp/dump.sql.bz2

- name: Dump all databases to hostname.sql
  mysql_db:
    state: dump
    name: all
    target: /tmp/{{ inventory_hostname }}.sql

- name: Import file.sql similar to mysql -u <username> -p <password> < hostname.sql
  mysql_db:
    state: import
    name: all
    target: /tmp/{{ inventory_hostname }}.sql

Status

This module is flagged as preview which means that it is not guaranteed to have a backwards compatible interface.
