Dear Shubham, Thanks for updating the patch! Few comments.
01. pg_createsubscriber.sgml ``` + <para> + Remove all existing publications on the subscriber node before creating + a subscription. + </para> + ``` I think this is not accurate. Publications on databases which are not target will retain. Also, I'm not sure it is important to clarify "before creating a subscription.". How about: Remove all existing publications from specified databases. 02. main() ``` + opt.cleanup_existing_publications = false; ``` ISTM initialization is done with the same ordering with CreateSubscriberOptions. Thus this should be at after recovery_timeout. 03. 040_pg_createsubscriber.pl ``` +$node_p->wait_for_replay_catchup($node_s); + +# Verify the existing publications +my $pub_count_before = + $node_s->safe_psql($db1, "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM pg_publication;"); +is($pub_count_before, '2', + 'two publications created before --cleanup-existing-publications is run'); ``` I think no need to declare $pub_count_before. How about: ``` ok( $node_s->poll_query_until( $db1, "SELECT COUNT(*) = 2 FROM pg_publication"), 'two publications created before --cleanup-existing-publications is run'); ``` 04. 040_pg_createsubscriber.pl ``` +my $pub_count_after = + $node_s->safe_psql($db1, "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM pg_publication;"); +is($pub_count_after, '0', + 'all publications dropped after --cleanup-existing-publications is run'); + ``` I think no need to declare $pub_count_after. How about: ``` is($node_s->safe_psql($db1, "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM pg_publication;"), '0', 'all publications dropped after --cleanup-existing-publications is run'); ``` 05. According to the document [1], we must do double-quote for each identifiers. But current patch seems not to do. Below example shows the case when three publications exist. ``` pg_createsubscriber: dropping publications "aaa, bbb, ccc" in database "postgres" ``` I think the output must be `"aaa", "bbb", "ccc"`. This means drop_publication() should be refactored. [1]: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/error-style-guide.html#ERROR-STYLE-GUIDE-QUOTES Best regards, Hayato Kuroda FUJITSU LIMITED
