Hi Andrew,
Determining how a task should be treated as "changed" is can be controlled
using the changed_when directive. See the documentation:
http://docs.ansible.com/playbooks_error_handling.html#overriding-the-changed-result
-name: check if DB exists
shell: mysql -u <user> -p <password> -h <host> 'show databases;' | grep {{
db_name }}
register: dbstatus
changed_when: dbstatus.rc == 1 and not dbstatus.stdout
Or something like that. Grep returns a 1 in no lines match, and there
won't be any standard out if no lines match.
This might be a good opportunity to create a MySQL facts module that
returns information about a server, from which you can use logic to decide
how to implement tasks. Just a thought.
