az postgres flexible-server execute option is not recognised

[Raymond-Ly]

Describe the bug

Hello,

Since 1st of April 2026, it appears the execute option was removed from the az postgres flexible-server, even though in the documentation, it appears it still should exist.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/postgres/flexible-server?view=azure-cli-latest

Were there any changes relating to this? I have a similar issue, but from 2024: Azure/azure-cli-extensions#7447

Related command

az postgres flexible-server execute

Errors

'execute' is misspelled or not recognized by the system.

Issue script & Debug output

'execute' is misspelled or not recognized by the system.

Expected behavior

'execute' option to exist

@Raymond-Ly the execute and connect commands are part of the rdbms-connect CLI extension. You need to have the extension added to your workspace or have your workspace configured to automatically install missing extensions. Please, follow the instructions available at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/azure-cli-extensions-overview?view=azure-cli-latest to install that extension before you invoke any of the two commands it currently supports.

Thanks @nachoalonsoportillo, I will try explicitly installing the extension.

We had az config set extension.use_dynamic_install=yes_without_prompt - which seems to have silently failed to automatically install the extension.

@nachoalonsoportillo I'm having the same issue where dynamic install fails to install the extension automatically. Manually installing the extension do solve it. Could the issue be reopened to investigate why the dynamic install feature do not work anymore ?
