* [PATCH v2] Add \pset options for boolean value display

The server's space-expedient choice to use 't' and 'f' to represent
boolean true and false respectively is technically understandable but
visually atrocious.  Teach psql to detect these two values and print
whatever it deems is appropriate.  In the interest of backward
compatability, that defaults to 't' and 'f'.  However, now the user can
impose their own standards by using the newly introduced display_true
and display_false pset settings.

* [PATCH v3 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-03 14:03  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 533+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-03 14:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v3 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-03 14:03  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 533+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-03 14:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v3 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-03 14:03  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-03 14:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v3 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-03 14:03  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-03 14:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v3 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-03 14:03  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 533+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-03 14:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v3 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-03 14:03  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-03 14:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v3 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-03 14:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v3 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-03 14:03  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-03 14:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v3 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-03 14:03  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 533+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-03 14:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v3 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-03 14:03  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-03 14:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v3 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-03 14:03  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-03 14:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v3 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-03 14:03  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 533+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-03 14:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v3 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-03 14:03  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-03 14:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v3 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-03 14:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v3 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-03 14:03  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-03 14:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v3 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-03 14:03  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 533+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-03 14:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v3 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-03 14:03  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-03 14:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v3 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-03 14:03  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-03 14:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v3 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-03 14:03  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 533+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-03 14:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v3 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-03 14:03  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-03 14:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v3 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-03 14:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v3 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-03 14:03  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-03 14:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v3 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-03 14:03  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 533+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-03 14:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v3 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-03 14:03  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-03 14:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v3 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-03 14:03  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-03 14:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v3 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-03 14:03  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 533+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-03 14:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v3 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-03 14:03  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-03 14:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v3 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-03 14:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v3 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-03 14:03  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-03 14:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v3 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-03 14:03  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 533+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-03 14:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v3 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-03 14:03  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-03 14:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v3 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-03 14:03  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-03 14:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v3 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-03 14:03  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 533+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-03 14:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v3 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-03 14:03  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-03 14:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v3 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-03 14:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v3 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-03 14:03  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-03 14:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v3 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-03 14:03  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 533+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-03 14:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v3 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-03 14:03  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-03 14:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v3 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-03 14:03  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-03 14:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v3 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-03 14:03  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 533+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-03 14:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v3 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-03 14:03  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-03 14:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v3 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-03 14:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v3 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-03 14:03  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-03 14:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v3 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-03 14:03  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 533+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-03 14:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v3 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-03 14:03  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-03 14:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v3 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-03 14:03  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-03 14:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v3 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-03 14:03  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 533+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-03 14:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v3 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-03 14:03  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-03 14:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v3 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-03 14:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v3 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-03 14:03  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-03 14:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v4 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v3 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v4 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v3 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v4 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v4 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v3 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v3 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v3 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v3 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v3 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v3 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v4 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v3 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v4 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v4 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v3 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v4 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v3 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v4 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v3 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v4 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v3 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v4 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v4 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v3 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v4 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v4 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v3 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v4 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v3 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v4 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v4 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v3 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v4 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v3 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v4 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v3 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v4 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v4 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v3 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v3 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v4 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v3 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v3 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v4 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v4 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v3 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v4 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v3 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v4 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v4 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v3 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v4 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v3 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v4 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v3 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v3 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v4 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v3 4/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for AlterPublication

Apply the same RangeVarGetRelidExtended() style retry loop to
AlterPublication()'s tables/schemas branch that was added for subscriptions
in commit XXXX.

Previously, this branch resolved the publication name and checked ownership
at the top of AlterPublication(), then locked and re-read by OID. This left a
window where concurrent DDL could have modified the ownership and/or the name
resolution

Now the tables/schemas branch has its own complete retry loop: name
resolution, ownership check, and lock acquisition all inside the loop.

* [PATCH v4 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-06 04:44  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-06 04:44 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v4 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-06 04:44  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 533+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-06 04:44 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v4 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-06 04:44  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-06 04:44 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v4 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-06 04:44  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 533+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-06 04:44 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v4 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-06 04:44  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 533+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-06 04:44 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v4 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-06 04:44  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 533+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-06 04:44 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v4 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-06 04:44  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 533+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-06 04:44 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v4 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-06 04:44  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 533+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-06 04:44 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v4 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-06 04:44  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 533+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-06 04:44 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v4 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-06 04:44  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-06 04:44 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v4 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-06 04:44  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 533+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-06 04:44 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v4 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-06 04:44  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-06 04:44 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v4 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-06 04:44  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 533+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-06 04:44 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name

retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,

DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v4 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-06 04:44  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-06 04:44 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v4 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-06 04:44  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 533+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-06 04:44 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v4 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-06 04:44  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 533+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-06 04:44 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v4 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-06 04:44  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 533+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-06 04:44 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v4 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-06 04:44  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 533+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-06 04:44 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v4 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-06 04:44  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 533+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-06 04:44 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v4 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-06 04:44  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-06 04:44 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v4 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-06 04:44  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 533+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-06 04:44 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v4 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-06 04:44  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-06 04:44 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v4 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-06 04:44  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 533+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-06 04:44 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v4 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-06 04:44  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-06 04:44 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v4 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-06 04:44  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 533+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-06 04:44 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v4 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-06 04:44  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 533+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-06 04:44 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v4 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-06 04:44  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 533+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-06 04:44 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v4 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-06 04:44  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 533+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-06 04:44 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v4 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-06 04:44  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 533+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-06 04:44 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v4 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-06 04:44  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 533+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-06 04:44 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v4 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-06 04:44  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 533+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-06 04:44 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v4 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-06 04:44  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-06 04:44 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v4 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-06 04:44  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 533+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-06 04:44 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v4 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-06 04:44  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-06 04:44 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v4 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-06 04:44  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 533+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-06 04:44 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v4 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-06 04:44  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-06 04:44 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v4 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-06 04:44  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 533+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-06 04:44 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v4 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-06 04:44  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-06 04:44 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v4 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-06 04:44  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 533+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-06 04:44 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v4 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-06 04:44  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 533+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-06 04:44 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v4 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-06 04:44  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 533+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-06 04:44 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v4 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-06 04:44  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 533+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-06 04:44 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v4 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-06 04:44  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 533+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-06 04:44 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v4 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-06 04:44  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 533+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-06 04:44 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v4 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-06 04:44  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-06 04:44 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v4 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-06 04:44  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 533+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-06 04:44 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v4 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-06 04:44  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-06 04:44 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v4 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-06 04:44  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 533+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-06 04:44 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name

retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,

DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.

* [PATCH v4 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
@ 2026-07-06 04:44  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-06 04:44 UTC (permalink / raw)

Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().

The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.

This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.
