Fixes

  • Enabled users to alter settings on tables subscribed in a logical replication.

  • Enabled to alter the setting blocks.read_only_allow_delete on blob tables to make it possible to drop read-only blob tables.

  • Fixed an issue that could cause queries on sys.snapshots to get stuck and consume a significant amount of resources.

  • Fixed an issue with primary key columns that have a DEFAULT clause. That could lead to queries on the primary key column not matching the row.

  • Fixed an issue with the logical replication of tables metadata which caused to stop if the master node of the subscriber changed.

  • Fixed an issue with aliased sub-relation outputs when used inside the outer where clause expression, resulting in a planner error. Example: SELECT * FROM (SELECT id, true AS a FROM t1) WHERE a

  • Fixed an edge case with the initial restore of subscribed tables when the restore operation finish almost instantly (e.g. restoring small tables).

  • Fixed an issue with table functions parameter binding in SELECT queries without FROM clause. Example: SELECT unnest(?).

  • Improved error handling when creating a subscription with unknown publications. Instead of successfully creating the subscription, an error is now presented to the user.

  • Fixed an issue with client caching which lead to authentication error when creating a subscription with bad credentials and pg_tunnel followed by re-creating it second time with the same name and valid credentials.

  • Fixed an issue with VARCHAR and BIT columns with a length limited used in primary key, generated or default column expression. An ALTER TABLE statement removed the length limit from such columns.

  • Fixed an issue resulting in a broken subscription when a subscription is dropped and re-created within a short period of time.
