##Overview

The mysql module installs, configures, and manages the MySQL service.

##Module Description

The mysql module manages both the installation and configuration of MySQL, as well as extending Puppet to allow management of MySQL resources, such as databases, users, and grants.

##Setup

###What MySQL affects

* MySQL package
* MySQL configuration files
* MySQL service

###Beginning with MySQL

If you want a server installed with the default options you can run
`include '::mysql::server'`. 

If you need to customize options, such as the root
password or `/etc/my.cnf` settings, then you must also pass in an override hash:

~~~
class { '::mysql::server':
  root_password           => 'strongpassword',
  remove_default_accounts => true,
  override_options        => $override_options
}
~~~

See [**Customizing Server Options**](#customizing-server-options) below for examples of the hash structure for $override_options`.

##Usage

All interaction for the server is done via `mysql::server`. To install the client, use `mysql::client`. To install bindings, use `mysql::bindings`.

###Customizing Server Options

The hash structure for overrides in `mysql::server` can be structured like a hash in the my.cnf file, so:

~~~
$override_options = {
  'section' => {
    'item' => 'thing',
  }
}
~~~

For items that you would traditionally represent as

~~~
[section]
thing = X
~~~

you can make an entry like `thing => true`, `thing => value`, or `thing => "` in the hash. Alternatively, you can pass an array, as `thing => ['value', 'value2']`, or list each `thing => value` separately on separate lines. 

MySQL doesn't care if 'thing' is alone or set to a value; it happily accepts both. To keep an option out of the my.cnf file --- e.g., when using `override_options` to revert to a default value --- you can pass `thing => undef`.

If an option needs multiple instances, you can pass an array. For example,

~~~
$override_options = {
  'mysqld' => {
    'replicate-do-db' => ['base1', 'base2'],
  }
}
~~~

produces

~~~
[mysql]
replicate-do-db = base1
replicate-do-db = base2
~~~

### Creating a database

To use `mysql::db` to create a database with a user and assign some privileges:

~~~
mysql::db { 'mydb':
  user     => 'myuser',
  password => 'mypass',
  host     => 'localhost',
  grant    => ['SELECT', 'UPDATE'],
}
~~~

Or to use a different resource name with exported resources:

~~~
 @@mysql::db { "mydb_${fqdn}":
  user     => 'myuser',
  password => 'mypass',
  dbname   => 'mydb',
  host     => ${fqdn},
  grant    => ['SELECT', 'UPDATE'],
  tag      => $domain,
}
~~~

Then you can collect it on the remote DB server:

~~~
Mysql::Db <<| tag == $domain |>>
~~~

If you set the sql param to a file when creating a database, the file gets imported into the new database.

For large sql files, you should raise the $import_timeout parameter, set by default to 300 seconds.

~~~
mysql::db { 'mydb':
  user     => 'myuser',
  password => 'mypass',
  host     => 'localhost',
  grant    => ['SELECT', 'UPDATE'],
  sql      => '/path/to/sqlfile',
  import_timeout => 900,
}
~~~

###Custom Configuration

To add custom MySQL configuration, drop additional files into
`includedir`. Dropping files into `includedir` allows you to override settings or add additional ones, which is helpful if you choose not to use `override_options` in `mysql::server`. The `includedir` location is by default set to /etc/mysql/conf.d.

###Parameters

####mysql::server

#####`create_root_user`

Specify whether root user should be created. Valid values are 'true', 'false'. Defaults to 'true'.

This is useful for a cluster setup with Galera. The root user has to
be created only once. `create_root_user` can be set to 'true' on one node while
it is set to 'false' on the remaining nodes.

#####`create_root_my_cnf`

If set to 'true', creates `/root/.my.cnf`. Valid values are 'true', 'false'. Defaults to 'true'.

`create_root_my_cnf` allows creation of `/root/.my.cnf` independently of `create_root_user`. This can be used for a cluster setup with Galera where you want `/root/.my.cnf` to exist on all nodes.

#####`root_password`

The MySQL root password. Puppet attempts to set the root password and update `/root/.my.cnf` with it.

This is required if `create_root_user` or `create_root_my_cnf` are 'true'. If `root_password` is 'UNSET', then `create_root_user` and `create_root_my_cnf` are assumed to be false --- that is, the MySQL root user and `/root/.my.cnf` are not created.

#####`old_root_password`

The previous root password. Required if you want to change the root password via Puppet.

#####`override_options`

The hash of override options to pass into MySQL. Structured like a hash in the my.cnf file:

~~~
$override_options = {
  'section' => {
    'item'             => 'thing',
  }
}
~~~

#Development

Puppet Labs modules on the Puppet Forge are open projects, and community
contributions are essential for keeping them great. We can’t access the
huge number of platforms and myriad of hardware, software, and deployment
configurations that Puppet is intended to serve.

We want to keep it as easy as possible to contribute changes so that our
modules work in your environment. There are a few guidelines that we need
contributors to follow so that we can have a chance of keeping on top of things.

Check out our the complete [module contribution guide](https://docs.puppetlabs.com/forge/contributing.html).
