Hi All, We want to setup a logical replica with initial load from physical standby. (all pg10.5) Basically what we tested is: 1.on the master: create publication and logical slot. 2.on the standby: pause the stanby. (lsn from 1. is already replayed). 3.on the standby: get last replayed lsn, pg_last_wal_replay_lsn(). 4.export/import the data into the logical replica. 5.on the logical replica: create subscription with pg_replication_origin_advance'd to the lsn from 3. 6.on the logical replica: enable subscription.
On a test setup with some bulk inserts results are encouraging. Still we're not that confident. Does the procedure looks okay? What if standby is paused at COMMIT lsn? Thanks! Radoslav Nedyalkov
