Subject: pgsql: When changing owner of a subscription, do not throw an error.
Date: Wed, 05 Aug 2026 20:26:31 +0000
Message-ID: <E1wriC7-00000000LHP-0WlL@gemulon.postgresql.org> (raw)

When changing owner of a subscription, do not throw an error.

Errors will be caught when the connection is actually used.

Restore uses multiple DDL commands to restore a subscription, so
checks of the intermediate state risk restore errors. In the future we
could address this with a more careful restoration order, but the
DDL-time errors are merely for convenience.

Addresses finding 2 in the report from the linked discussion.
