Right. I guess we could actually relatively easily "fix" that. Something like: SELECT pg_replication_identifier_create('dont-replay'); SELECT pg_replication_identifier_setup_replaying_from('dont-replay'); BEGIN; SET LOCAL bdr.skip_ddl_replication=on; SET LOCAL bdr.permit_unsafe_commands=on; CREATE EXTENSION whatever; COMMIT; SELECT pg_replication_identifier_reset_replaying_from(); Which obviously isn't particularly nice... Although a bit cool :P > However in all of my tests I sooner or later end up with a DDL endless > loop error due to a create or replace something in my scripts and > applications => reinstallation. Hence my interest in error recovery :-) The CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW errors already are fixed :). Albeit only in the newly structured branches (branches bdr-plugin/next and bdr-pg/REL9_4_STABLE) for bdr 9.4. For which no instructions about compiling exist yet :( > But I will keep on testing because the end result will be very valuable. Cool!
