Thanks a lot, Michael! Now I was able to reproduce that. Seems that when
you was performing manual setup, master instance issued checkpoint, but in
my script that didn’t happened because of shorter timing. There are tests
with checkpoint between prepare/commit in proposed test suite, but none of
them was issuing ddl.

Yep, it is. It is okay for prepared xact hold a locks for created/changed 
tables,
but code in standby_redo() was written in assumption that there are no prepared
xacts at the time of recovery. I’ll look closer at checkpointer code and will 
send
updated patch.

And thanks again.
