That's obviously a bug.

Currently it's a bit annoying. We're working on making the UI for it better. All you can currently do is to skip the transaction doing the DDL using pg_replication_identifier_advance(). Which requires some fiddling around. It's on our roadmap to make a) skipping the replication of a transaction easier b) allow to skip individual problematic actions in a transaction Greetings, Andres Freund -- Andres Freund http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
