Hello,
I am currently using PostgreSQL Community version 9.4.9 and then using this
instance, I am doing logical replication(using replication slots). I have
created the replication slots using the following query:
SELECT xlog_position FROM pg_create_logical_replication_
slot('cjkimqvfuvixqyjd_00016389_e6f7c975_a311_4067_bcf1_a6accb57ab37',
'test_decoding')
So the issue that I am facing is because of the updates that are being done
to my table. I was able to reproduce the same issue again using the
following sample:
____________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________________
1. Table on the source(which is RDS PostgreSQL):
CREATE TABLE public.toast_test1
(
id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
is_not_toast INT,
is_toast VARCHAR(32767)
);
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX toast_test_id_uindex1 ON public.toast_test1 (id);
2. Insert some values:
INSERT INTO public.toast_test1
(is_not_toast, is_toast) VALUES
(0, (SELECT string_agg(series::text, ',')
FROM generate_series(1, 1000) AS series));
So basically, every time you execute the above query, a new row will be
inserted. So execute the same for 4-5 times.
3. So now I started my replication.
4. If for example, I am doing an update using the below mentioned query on
my source instance:
UPDATE public.toast_test SET is_not_toast = 1;
5. On the target, when I do a select * and see that the column with
character varying() datatype has changed to 'unchanged-toast-datum'.
6. So on further checking the replication slot at the time, when I issued
an update, I can see this:
postgres2@t1=> SELECT * FROM pg_logical_slot_get_changes('
cjkimqvfuvixqyjd_00016389_e6f7c975_a311_4067_bcf1_a6accb57ab37', NULL,
NULL);

(3 rows)

Even after setting the REPLICA IDENTITY to FULL for this table did not
help.
