 ### Validate connectivity
 
-To validate client connections to a remote PostgreSQL database before starting dependent tasks, use the `postgresql::validate_db_connection` resource. You can use this on any node where the PostgreSQL client software is installed. It is often chained to other tasks such as starting an application server or performing a database migration.
