DecodeTXNNeedSkip(LogicalDecodingContext *ctx, XLogRecordBuffer *buf, Oid txn_dbid, RepOriginId origin_id) { - return (SnapBuildXactNeedsSkip(ctx->snapshot_builder, buf->origptr) || - (txn_dbid != InvalidOid && txn_dbid != ctx->slot->data.database) || - ctx->fast_forward || FilterByOrigin(ctx, origin_id)); + bool need_skip; + + need_skip = (SnapBuildXactNeedsSkip(ctx->snapshot_builder, buf->origptr) || + (txn_dbid != InvalidOid && txn_dbid != ctx->slot->data.database) || + ctx->decoding_mode != DECODING_MODE_NORMAL || + FilterByOrigin(ctx, origin_id)); + + /* Set a flag if we are in the slient mode */ + if (ctx->decoding_mode == DECODING_MODE_SILENT) + ctx->output_skipped = true; + + return need_skip; I think you need to set the new flag only when we are not skipping the transaction or in other words when we decide to process the transaction. Otherwise, how will you distinguish the case where the xact is already decoded and sent to client? -- With Regards, Amit Kapila
