Table: terraform_local - Query Terraform Local Values using SQL

Terraform Local Values are a convenient naming mechanism that allows users to assign a name to an expression so it can be used multiple times within a module without repeating it. Local Values can be helpful to avoid repeating the same values or expressions multiple times in a Terraform configuration. If overused, they can also make configuration hard to read and understand if the reader has to continually lookup the values.

Table Usage Guide

The terraform_local table provides insights into local values within Terraform. As a DevOps engineer, explore local value-specific details through this table, including the final local value name and its corresponding expression. Utilize it to uncover information about local values, such as those that are used multiple times, to avoid repetition and enhance the readability of the Terraform configuration.

Analyze the settings to understand who the owners are across various paths in a case-insensitive manner. This can be beneficial in managing access rights and maintaining security protocols.Identify instances where the 'owner' locals are used in the Terraform configuration to understand the ownership details in the system. This can be particularly useful in managing and organizing resources effectively.

select
  name,
  value,
  path
from
  terraform_local
where
  name ilike 'owner';
