53.54. `pg_subscription` #

The catalog pg_subscription contains all existing logical replication subscriptions. For more information about logical replication see Chapter 31.

Unlike most system catalogs, pg_subscription is shared across all databases of a cluster: there is only one copy of pg_subscription per cluster, not one per database.

Access to the column subconninfo is revoked from normal users, because it could contain plain-text passwords.

Table 53.54. pg_subscription Columns

Column Type Description
`oid` `oid` Row identifier
`subdbid` `oid` (references `pg_database`.`oid`) OID of the database that the subscription resides in
`subskiplsn` `pg_lsn` Finish LSN of the transaction whose changes are to be skipped, if a valid LSN; otherwise `0/0`.
`subname` `name` Name of the subscription
`subowner` `oid` (references `pg_authid`.`oid`) Owner of the subscription
`subenabled` `bool` If true, the subscription is enabled and should be replicating
`subbinary` `bool` If true, the subscription will request that the publisher send data in binary format
`substream` `char` Controls how to handle the streaming of in-progress transactions: `f` = disallow streaming of in-progress transactions, `t` = spill the changes of in-progress transactions to disk and apply at once after the transaction is committed on the publisher and received by the subscriber, `p` = apply changes directly using a parallel apply worker if available (same as 't' if no worker is available)
`subtwophasestate` `char` State codes for two-phase mode: `d` = disabled, `p` = pending enablement, `e` = enabled
`subdisableonerr` `bool` If true, the subscription will be disabled if one of its workers detects an error
`subpasswordrequired` `bool` If true, the subscription will be required to specify a password for authentication
`subrunasowner` `bool` If true, the subscription will be run with the permissions of the subscription owner
`subconninfo` `text` Connection string to the upstream database
`subslotname` `name` Name of the replication slot in the upstream database (also used for the local replication origin name); null represents `NONE`
`subsynccommit` `text` The `synchronous_commit` setting for the subscription's workers to use
`subpublications` `text[]` Array of subscribed publication names. These reference publications defined in the upstream database. For more on publications see Section 31.1.
`suborigin` `text` The origin value must be either `none` or `any`. The default is `any`. If `none`, the subscription will request the publisher to only send changes that don't have an origin. If `any`, the publisher sends changes regardless of their origin.

subpasswordrequired bool

If true, the subscription will be required to specify a password for authentication

subrunasowner bool

If true, the subscription will be run with the permissions of the subscription owner

subconninfo text
