extdata from MySQL

[Jonathan Gazeley]

There doesn't seem to be much information about this on the web, but is
it possible to use MySQL as a backend for handling extdata?

It would be enormously easier for me to use a database that could be
easily updated rather than csv files that live on the puppet master.

Cheers,
Jonathan

I believe Craig Dunn had an article on using a MySQL backend for Hiera -->  http://www.craigdunn.org/2012/03/introducing-hiera-mysql-mysql-backend-for-hiera/

Until hiera 0.3.1 is actually released you'll need to manually apply the
patch in http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/13641 in order for
hiera-mysql to work using Puppet. When an 0.3.1 gem comes out I'll add
it as a dependency.

Cheers
Craig
