Description

Adds, removes or changes procedural languages with a PostgreSQL database.

This module allows you to add a language, remote a language or change the trust relationship with a PostgreSQL database.

The module can be used on the machine where executed or on a remote host.

When removing a language from a database, it is possible that dependencies prevent the database from being removed. In that case, you can specify I(cascade=yes) to automatically drop objects that depend on the language (such as functions in the language).

In case the language can't be deleted because it is required by the database system, you can specify I(fail_on_drop=no) to ignore the error.

Be careful when marking a language as trusted since this could be a potential security breach. Untrusted languages allow only users with the PostgreSQL superuser privilege to use this language to create new functions.
