The main difference between the logical replication setup and pg_createsubscriber is the initial data copy. It does only the synchronization phase, which ensures each table is brought up to a synchronized state. What does "it" and "synchronization phase" mean in "It does only the synchronization phase"? Seems this needs improvement. -- Bruce Momjian https://momjian.us EDB https://enterprisedb.com Only you can decide what is important to you.
