The trigger function is bad and dangerous, because it relies on the current setting of "search_path". You notice that with logical replication, because "search_path" is empty to avoid security problems. Fix your function: ALTER FUNCTION trigger_function() SET search_path = public; Yours, Laurenz Albe -- Cybertec | https://www.cybertec-postgresql.com
