Unsurprisingly, this requires wal_level = logical to be set on the primary and standby. The infrastructure added in26669757b6ensures that slots are invalidated if the primary's wal_level is lowered. Creating a slot on a standby waits for a xl_running_xact record to be processed. If the primary is idle (and thus not emitting xl_running_xact records), that can take a while. To make that faster, this commit also introduces the pg_log_standby_snapshot() function. By executing it on the primary, completion of slot creation on the standby can be accelerated. Note that logical decoding on a standby does not itself enforce that required catalog rows are not removed. The user has to use physical replication slots + hot_standby_feedback or other measures to prevent that. If catalog rows required for a slot are removed, the slot is invalidated. See6af1793954for an overall design of logical decoding on a standby. Bumps catversion, for the addition of the pg_log_standby_snapshot() function.

|
|
* "Catalog version number" for PostgreSQL.
|
|
*
|
|
* The catalog version number is used to flag incompatible changes in
|
|
* the PostgreSQL system catalogs. Whenever anyone changes the format of
|
|
* a system catalog relation, or adds, deletes, or modifies standard
|
|
* catalog entries in such a way that an updated backend wouldn't work
|
|
* with an old database (or vice versa), the catalog version number
|
|
* should be changed. The version number stored in pg_control by initdb
|
|
* is checked against the version number compiled into the backend at
|
|
* startup time, so that a backend can refuse to run in an incompatible
|
|
* database.
|
|
*
|
|
* The point of this feature is to provide a finer grain of compatibility
|
|
* checking than is possible from looking at the major version number
|
|
* stored in PG_VERSION. It shouldn't matter to end users, but during
|
|
* development cycles we usually make quite a few incompatible changes
|
|
* to the contents of the system catalogs, and we don't want to bump the
|
|
* major version number for each one. What we can do instead is bump
|
|
* this internal version number. This should save some grief for
|
|
* developers who might otherwise waste time tracking down "bugs" that
|
|
* are really just code-vs-database incompatibilities.
|
|
*
|
|
* The rule for developers is: if you commit a change that requires
|
|
* an initdb, you should update the catalog version number (as well as
|
|
* notifying the pgsql-hackers mailing list, which has been the
|
|
* informal practice for a long time).
|
|
*
|
|
* The catalog version number is placed here since modifying files in
|
|
* include/catalog is the most common kind of initdb-forcing change.
|
|
* But it could be used to protect any kind of incompatible change in
|
|
* database contents or layout, such as altering tuple headers.
|
|
* Another common reason for a catversion update is a change in parsetree
|
|
* external representation, since serialized parsetrees appear in stored
|
|
* rules and new-style SQL functions. Almost any change in primnodes.h or
|
|
* parsenodes.h will warrant a catversion update.
