Beta feature

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.

won't retrysuccessCI history

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:t77798
psql -h localhost -U postgres

Built from patchset v2 (message #2), July 27, 2026 at 09:34 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 t77798_2 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 t77798_2 && git checkout t77798_2

Patchset v2 (message #2) is on t77798_2

The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:

Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/17/logical-replication-subscription.html
Description:

I think there is a mistake in this doc :
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/logical-replication-subscription.html

"Each subscription will receive changes via one replication slot (see
Section 26.2.6)."

The above statement actually links to the physical replication slots, which
is different. Should it not link to this instead? :

Agreed, that seems like the right change. Unless objected to I'll apply the
attached diff with the appropriate level of backpatching.
