Michael Paquier	06fdc4e4d3	Do more cleanup of isolation tests for test_decoding ... 989d23b has caused its tests to be broken as the module defines unused steps, turning the buildfarm red.	6 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	325f2ec555	Handle heap rewrites even better in logical decoding ... Logical decoding should not publish anything about tables created as part of a heap rewrite during DDL. Those tables don't exist externally, so consumers of logical decoding cannot do anything sensible with that information. In ab28feae2b, we worked around this for built-in logical replication, but that was hack. This is a more proper fix: We mark such transient heaps using the new field pg_class.relwrite, linking to the original relation OID. By default, we ignore them in logical decoding before they get to the output plugin. Optionally, a plugin can register their interest in getting such changes, if they handle DDL specially, in which case the new field will help them get information about the actual table.

Andres Freund	1986c3c440	Force synchronous_commit=on in test_decoding's concurrent_ddl_dml.spec. ... Otherwise running installcheck-force on a server with synchronous_commit=off will result in the tests failing. All the other tests already do so... Backpatch: 9.4, where logical decoding was added	10 years ago
Robert Haas	5243a35825	Remove bogus step from test_decoding isolation tests. ... Commit 43b4a16817 made the isolation tester reject duplicate step names, and it turns out that the test_decoding module's concurrent_ddl_dml isolation test has a duplicate name. I think the second definition isn't actually getting used, so just remove it. Per buildfarm.	10 years ago
Andres Freund	d6fa44fce7	Add skip-empty-xacts option to test_decoding for use in the regression tests. ... The regression tests for contrib/test_decoding regularly failed on postgres instances that were very slow. Either because the hardware itself was slow or because very expensive debugging options like CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS were used. The reason they failed was just that some additional transactions were decoded. Analyze and vacuum, triggered by autovac. To fix just add a option to test_decoding to only display transactions in which a change was actually displayed. That's not pretty because it removes information from the tests; but better than constantly failing tests in very likely harmless ways. Backpatch to 9.4 where logical decoding was introduced.

Robert Haas	b89e151054	Introduce logical decoding. ... This feature, building on previous commits, allows the write-ahead log stream to be decoded into a series of logical changes; that is, inserts, updates, and deletes and the transactions which contain them. It is capable of handling decoding even across changes to the schema of the effected tables. The output format is controlled by a so-called "output plugin"; an example is included. To make use of this in a real replication system, the output plugin will need to be modified to produce output in the format appropriate to that system, and to perform filtering. Currently, information can be extracted from the logical decoding system only via SQL; future commits will add the ability to stream changes via walsender.
