Bug reference: 14529
Logged by: Philippe BEAUDOIN
Email address: philippe.beaudoin@dalibo.com
PostgreSQL version: 9.6.1
Operating system: Linux
Description:
I am currently studying the logical decoding mechanism as an alternative to
log triggers for the E-Maj extension.
Using pg_recvlogical and pgbench, I have been able to reproduce an issue
that I met.
In short, I initialize the pgbench environment and set the REPLICA IDENTITY
to FULL on pgbench tables. Then I inject just 2 pgbench transactions and
collect the changes by pg_recvlogical, using the 'test_logical' output
plugin. The pg_recvlogical output shows the INSERT and the 3 UPDATEs of each
transaction. But for 2 of these UPDATEs, one only gets the value of the pkey
columns. The other columns are missing despite the REPLICA IDENTITY set to
FULL.
Using pg_xlogdump to look at the wal, I remarked that the faulting UPDATES
are "HOT_UPDATE", while the usual "UPDATE" are OK.
Here is a simple test case script:
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
export PGHOST=localhost
export PGPORT=5496
export PGUSER=postgres
export PGDATABASE=testdb
echo "*** -----------------------------"
echo "*** Initializing testdb database"
echo "*** -----------------------------"
dropdb testdb
createdb testdb
pgbench -i --foreign-keys
psql <<EOF1
-- show specific GUC parameters
show wal_level;
show max_wal_senders;
show max_replication_slots;
-- set all table with replica identity full to get all data for old row in
UPDATE or DELETE verbs
alter table pgbench_tellers replica identity full;
alter table pgbench_accounts replica identity full;
alter table pgbench_branches replica identity full;
alter table pgbench_history replica identity full;
-- check the replica identity is effectively set
select relname, relreplident from pg_class where relname like 'pgbench%' and
relkind = 'r';
\d+ pgbench_tellers
\d+ pgbench_accounts
\d+ pgbench_branches
\d+ pgbench_history
