pg 16.4, logical replication, use case = data archiving

[milist ujang <ujang.milist@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I Play logical replication with row filter feature, my use case is data archiving. 

in lab env, it worked, my questions:

- during alter subscription, what about on-going DML? Can it be lost?

- any lock during alter subscription should I aware?

scenario:

# on source

tutorial=# ALTER PUBLICATION pub1 set TABLE users,likes,articles WHERE (title <> 'del');

ALTER PUBLICATION

tutorial=# \dRp+

                              Publication pub1

  Owner   | All tables | Inserts | Updates | Deletes | Truncates | Via root

----------+------------+---------+---------+---------+-----------+----------

 postgres | f          | t       | t       | t       | t         | f

Tables:

    "public.articles" WHERE (title <> 'del'::text)

    "public.likes"

    "public.users"

wait a moment....

update users set password_digest='del' where id=10;

wait a moment...

tutorial=# ALTER PUBLICATION pub1 set TABLE users WHERE (password_digest <> 'del'),likes,articles WHERE (title <> 'del');

ALTER PUBLICATION

tutorial=# \dRp+

                              Publication pub1

  Owner   | All tables | Inserts | Updates | Deletes | Truncates | Via root

----------+------------+---------+---------+---------+-----------+----------

 postgres | f          | t       | t       | t       | t         | f

Tables:

    "public.articles" WHERE (title <> 'del'::text)

    "public.likes"

    "public.users" WHERE (password_digest <> 'del'::text)

delete from users where id=10;

# source and target

select * from users;

id=10 gone at source, but exist at target
