Hello! Postgres v11.12. Getting "ERROR: publication "new_rep_pub" does not exist" after renaming an existing publication. And the only way to get it working seems to start from scratch. What am I missing? On PUB side: CREATE TABLE rep_test (int_col int PRIMARY KEY, ts_col timestamp); INSERT INTO rep_test (int_col, ts_col) SELECT generate_series(1,10), current_timestamp; CREATE PUBLICATION rep_pub FOR TABLE rep_test; On SUB side: CREATE TABLE rep_test (int_col int PRIMARY KEY, ts_col timestamp) CREATE SUBSCRIPTION rep_sub CONNECTION 'host=localhost port=54311 dbname=postgres' PUBLICATION rep_pub; ALTER SUBSCRIPTION rep_sub DISABLE ; ALTER SUBSCRIPTION rep_sub SET PUBLICATION new_rep_pub WITH ( refresh = false ); On PUB side: ALTER PUBLICATION rep_pub RENAME TO new_rep_pub; On SUB side: ALTER SUBSCRIPTION rep_sub ENABLE ; The PUB complains: 2021-10-19 19:14:53.182 GMT [35] LOG: statement: SELECT pg_catalog.set_config('search_path', '', false); 2021-10-19 19:14:53.185 GMT [35] LOG: starting logical decoding for slot "rep_sub" 2021-10-19 19:14:53.185 GMT [35] DETAIL: Streaming transactions committing after 0/1678A10, reading WAL from 0/1678A10. 2021-10-19 19:14:53.186 GMT [35] LOG: logical decoding found consistent point at 0/1678A10 2021-10-19 19:14:53.186 GMT [35] DETAIL: There are no running transactions. 2021-10-19 19:14:53.186 GMT [35] ERROR: publication "new_rep_pub" does not exist 2021-10-19 19:14:53.186 GMT [35] CONTEXT: slot "rep_sub", output plugin "pgoutput", in the change callback, associated LSN 0/1678A48 The SUB complains: 2021-10-19 19:16:10.340 GMT [33] LOG: logical replication apply worker for subscription "rep_sub" has started 2021-10-19 19:16:10.355 GMT [33] ERROR: could not receive data from WAL stream: ERROR: publication "new_rep_pub" does not exist CONTEXT: slot "rep_sub", output plugin "pgoutput", in the change callback, associated LSN 0/1678A48 2021-10-19 19:16:10.361 GMT [1] LOG: background worker "logical replication worker" (PID 33) exited with exit code 1 2021-10-19 19:16:15.373 GMT [34] LOG: logical replication apply worker for subscription "rep_sub" has started 2021-10-19 19:16:15.378 GMT [34] ERROR: could not receive data from WAL stream: ERROR: publication "new_rep_pub" does not exist CONTEXT: slot "rep_sub", output plugin "pgoutput", in the change callback, associated LSN 0/1678A48 2021-10-19 19:16:15.380 GMT [1] LOG: background worker "logical replication worker" (PID 34) exited with exit code 1 Yet it all looks like it should be OK: postgres@postgres=# \dRp List of publications Name │ Owner │ All tables │ Inserts │ Updates │ Deletes │ Truncates ─────────────┼──────────┼────────────┼─────────┼─────────┼─────────┼─────────── new_rep_pub │ postgres │ f │ t │ t │ t │ t (1 row) postgres@postgres=# \dRs+ List of subscriptions Name │ Owner │ Enabled │ Publication │ Synchronous commit │ Conninfo ─────────┼──────────┼─────────┼───────────────┼────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────────────────── rep_sub │ postgres │ f │ {new_rep_pub} │ off │ host=localhost port=54311 dbname=postgres (1 row) Best regards, -- Kristjan Mustkivi Email: kristjan.mustkivi@xxxxxxxxx
