Hi Shubham,
I have some comments for v4 patch:
1. I think we should update the comment for the function
'drop_publication'. As its usage is changed with this patch
Currently it states:
/*
* Remove publication if it couldn't finish all steps.
*/
2. In case when --cleanup_existing_publications is not specified the
info message has two double quotes.
pg_createsubscriber: dropping publication
""pg_createsubscriber_5_aa3c31f2"" in database "postgres"
The code:
+ appendPQExpBufferStr(targets,
+ PQescapeIdentifier(conn, dbinfo->pubname,
+ strlen(dbinfo->pubname)));
It is appending the value along with the double quotes. I think we
should assign the value of 'PQescapeIdentifier(conn, dbinfo->pubname,
strlen(dbinfo->pubname)' to a string and then use it.
Thanks and Regards,
Shlok Kyal
