## Synopsis

- Gathers Vertica database facts.

## Requirements

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

- unixODBC
- pyodbc

## Parameters

Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments
--- | --- | ---
cluster - | Default: "localhost" | Name of the cluster running the schema.
db - |  | Name of the database running the schema.
login_password - |  | The password used to authenticate with.
login_user - | Default: "dbadmin" | The username used to authenticate with.
port - | Default: 5433 | Database port to connect to.

## Notes

Note

- The default authentication assumes that you are either logging in as or sudo’ing to the `dbadmin` account on the host.
- This module uses `pyodbc`, a Python ODBC database adapter. You must ensure that `unixODBC` and `pyodbc` is installed on the host and properly configured.
- Configuring `unixODBC` for Vertica requires `Driver = /opt/vertica/lib64/libverticaodbc.so` to be added to the `Vertica` section of either `/etc/odbcinst.ini` or `$HOME/.odbcinst.ini` and both `ErrorMessagesPath = /opt/vertica/lib64` and `DriverManagerEncoding = UTF-16` to be added to the `Driver` section of either `/etc/vertica.ini` or `$HOME/.vertica.ini`.

## Examples

    - name: gathering vertica facts
      vertica_facts: db=db_name

## Status

- This module is not guaranteed to have a backwards compatible interface. [preview]
- This module is maintained by the Ansible Community. [community]
