Yeah ok. I tried to do this :
@@ -1042,7 +1042,8 @@ ReplicationSlotReserveWal(void)
if (!RecoveryInProgress() && SlotIsLogical(slot))
{
....
}
else
{
- restart_lsn = GetRedoRecPtr();
+ restart_lsn = SlotIsLogical(slot) ?
+ GetXLogReplayRecPtr(&ThisTimeLineID) : GetRedoRecPtr();
But then when I do pg_create_logical_replication_slot(), it hangs in
DecodingContextFindStartpoint(), waiting to find new records
(XLogReadRecord).
Working on it ...
