Hackorum builds and tests every patch posted to the lists, not only commitfest submissions. This is Hackorum's own CI rather than the PostgreSQL project's, and it is still under testing - please report anything that looks wrong.

You can run a PostgreSQL built from this patch straight from Docker, with no checkout and no build:

docker run --rm -p 5432:5432 ghcr.io/hackorum-dev/postgres-patch:t37170
psql -h localhost -U postgres

Built from patchset v1 (message #1), July 28, 2026 at 05:48 AM.

Every patchset is also pushed to a branch of our PostgreSQL fork, so you can check out the same tree CI built. Without a PostgreSQL checkout:

git clone --branch t37170_1 https://github.com/hackorum-dev/postgres.git

In a checkout you already have, add the fork once:

git remote add hackorum https://github.com/hackorum-dev/postgres.git

then, for this patchset and every later one:

git fetch hackorum t37170_1 && git checkout t37170_1

Patchset v1 (message #1) is on t37170_1

Hi,

I found a suspicious code in pgoutput_startup().

175 /* Check if we support requested protocol */
176 if (data->protocol_version != LOGICALREP_PROTO_VERSION_NUM)
177 ereport(ERROR,
178 (errcode(ERRCODE_FEATURE_NOT_SUPPORTED),
179 errmsg("client sent proto_version=%d but we only support protocol %d or lower",
180 data->protocol_version, LOGICALREP_PROTO_VERSION_NUM)));

Although the if condition is not-equal, the error message says
"we only support protocol %d or lower". Is this intentional?
Or should this be fixed as below?

176 if (data->protocol_version > LOGICALREP_PROTO_VERSION_NUM)

Attached is a simple patch in case of fixing.

Regards,
