Description

The attributes provided by data.ibm_database_connection should also be provided by ibm_database.

Because they are not, we have to use both ibm_database and data.ibm_database_connection and the resources that depends on data.ibm_database_connection get recreated each time there is a potential change in ibm_database, leading to data.ibm_database_connection stating "will be read during apply, depends on a resource or a module with changes pending".

This is a well known issue when attributes are only available from data sources, see hashicorp/terraform-provider-aws#29421 (comment)

The solution is to provide all attributes of data.ibm_database_connection on ibm_database so that the resource is enough to get the connection info.

New or Affected Resource(s)

• ibm_database
