The existing CLUSTER command as well as VACUUM with the FULL option both
reclaim unused space by rewriting table. Now that we want to enhance this
functionality (in particular, by adding a new option CONCURRENTLY), we should
enhance both commands because they are both implemented by the same function
(cluster.c:cluster_rel). However, adding the same option to two different
commands is not very user-friendly. Therefore it was decided to create a new
command and to declare both CLUSTER command and the FULL option of VACUUM
deprecated. Future enhancements to this rewriting code will only affect the
new command.

Like CLUSTER, the REPACK command reorders the table according to the specified
index. Unlike CLUSTER, REPACK does not require the index: if only table is
specified, the command acts as VACUUM FULL. As we don't want to remove CLUSTER
and VACUUM FULL yet, there are three callers of the cluster_rel() function
now: REPACK, CLUSTER and VACUUM FULL. When we need to distinguish who is
calling this function (mostly for logging, but also for progress reporting),
we can no longer use the OID of the clustering index: both REPACK and VACUUM
FULL can pass InvalidOid. Therefore, this patch introduces a new enumeration
type ClusterCommand, and adds an argument of this type to the cluster_rel()
function and to all the functions that need to distinguish the caller.

Like CLUSTER and VACUUM FULL, the REPACK COMMAND without arguments processes
all the tables on which the current user has the MAINTAIN privilege.

A new view pg_stat_progress_repack view is added to monitor the progress of
REPACK. Currently it displays the same information as pg_stat_progress_cluster
(except that column names might differ), but it'll also display the status of
the REPACK CONCURRENTLY command in the future, so the view definitions will
eventually diverge.

Regarding user documentation, the patch moves the information on clustering
from cluster.sgml to the new file repack.sgml. cluster.sgml now contains a
link that points to the related section of repack.sgml. A note on deprecation
and a link to repack.sgml are added to both cluster.sgml and vacuum.sgml.

+    since updated rows are kept on the same page if enough space is available
+    there.)
+   </para>
+
+   <para>
+    In cases where you are accessing single rows randomly within a table, the
+    actual order of the data in the table is unimportant. However, if you tend
+    to access some data more than others, and there is an index that groups
+    them together, you will benefit from using <command>REPACK</command>.  If
+    you are requesting a range of indexed values from a table, or a single
+    indexed value that has multiple rows that match,
+    <command>REPACK</command> will help because once the index identifies the
+    table page for the first row that matches, all other rows that match are
+    probably already on the same table page, and so you save disk accesses and
+    speed up the query.
+   </para>
+
+   <para>
+    <command>REPACK</command> can re-sort the table using either an index scan
+    on the specified index (if the index is a b-tree), or a sequential scan
+    followed by sorting.  It will attempt to choose the method that will be
+    faster, based on planner cost parameters and available statistical
+    information.
+   </para>
+
+   <para>
+    Because the planner records statistics about the ordering of tables, it is
+    advisable to
+    run <link linkend="sql-analyze"><command>ANALYZE</command></link> on the
+    newly repacked table.  Otherwise, the planner might make poor choices of
+    query plans.

+
+   <para>
+    When an index scan or a sequential scan without sort is used, a temporary
+    copy of the table is created that contains the table data in the index
+    order.  Temporary copies of each index on the table are created as well.
+    Therefore, you need free space on disk at least equal to the sum of the
+    table size and the index sizes.
+   </para>
+
+   <para>
+    When a sequential scan and sort is used, a temporary sort file is also
+    created, so that the peak temporary space requirement is as much as double
+    the table size, plus the index sizes.  This method is often faster than
+    the index scan method, but if the disk space requirement is intolerable,
+    you can disable this choice by temporarily setting

* [PATCH v1] Re-read subscription state after lock in AlterSubscription
@ 2026-07-02 11:07  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 596+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-02 11:07 UTC (permalink / raw)

AlterSubscription() reads the subscription's catalog state via GetSubscription()
before acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription object. A concurrent
session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by:

- Re-reading the subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() and refreshing the
  Subscription struct.
- Moving the local variable assignments to after the re-read.
- Re-checking the password_required privilege restriction after the re-read.

Remarks:

1/ not re-checking password_required after the re-read would still produce a
"tuple concurrently updated" error, but re-checking it allows us to display a
better error message.

2/ the ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

* [PATCH v1] Re-read subscription state after lock in AlterSubscription
@ 2026-07-02 11:07  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 596+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-02 11:07 UTC (permalink / raw)

AlterSubscription() reads the subscription's catalog state via GetSubscription()
before acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription object. A concurrent
session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by:

- Re-reading the subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() and refreshing the
  Subscription struct.
- Moving the local variable assignments to after the re-read.
- Re-checking the password_required privilege restriction after the re-read.

Remarks:

1/ not re-checking password_required after the re-read would still produce a
"tuple concurrently updated" error, but re-checking it allows us to display a
better error message.

2/ the ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

* [PATCH v1] Re-read subscription state after lock in AlterSubscription
@ 2026-07-02 11:07  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

AlterSubscription() reads the subscription's catalog state via GetSubscription()
before acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription object. A concurrent
session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by:

- Re-reading the subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() and refreshing the
  Subscription struct.
- Moving the local variable assignments to after the re-read.
- Re-checking the password_required privilege restriction after the re-read.

Remarks:

1/ not re-checking password_required after the re-read would still produce a
"tuple concurrently updated" error, but re-checking it allows us to display a
better error message.

2/ the ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

AlterSubscription() reads the subscription's catalog state via GetSubscription()
before acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription object. A concurrent
session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by:

- Re-reading the subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() and refreshing the
  Subscription struct.
- Moving the local variable assignments to after the re-read.
- Re-checking the password_required privilege restriction after the re-read.

Remarks:

1/ not re-checking password_required after the re-read would still produce a
"tuple concurrently updated" error, but re-checking it allows us to display a
better error message.

2/ the ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

* [PATCH v1] Re-read subscription state after lock in AlterSubscription
@ 2026-07-02 11:07  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 596+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-02 11:07 UTC (permalink / raw)

AlterSubscription() reads the subscription's catalog state via GetSubscription()
before acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription object. A concurrent
session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by:

- Re-reading the subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() and refreshing the
  Subscription struct.
- Moving the local variable assignments to after the re-read.
- Re-checking the password_required privilege restriction after the re-read.

Remarks:

1/ not re-checking password_required after the re-read would still produce a
"tuple concurrently updated" error, but re-checking it allows us to display a
better error message.

2/ the ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

* [PATCH v1] Re-read subscription state after lock in AlterSubscription
@ 2026-07-02 11:07  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

AlterSubscription() reads the subscription's catalog state via GetSubscription()
before acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription object. A concurrent
session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by:

- Re-reading the subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() and refreshing the
  Subscription struct.
- Moving the local variable assignments to after the re-read.
- Re-checking the password_required privilege restriction after the re-read.

Remarks:

1/ not re-checking password_required after the re-read would still produce a
"tuple concurrently updated" error, but re-checking it allows us to display a
better error message.

2/ the ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

* [PATCH v1] Re-read subscription state after lock in AlterSubscription
@ 2026-07-02 11:07  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

AlterSubscription() reads the subscription's catalog state via GetSubscription()
before acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription object. A concurrent
session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by:

- Re-reading the subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() and refreshing the
  Subscription struct.
- Moving the local variable assignments to after the re-read.
- Re-checking the password_required privilege restriction after the re-read.

Remarks:

1/ not re-checking password_required after the re-read would still produce a
"tuple concurrently updated" error, but re-checking it allows us to display a
better error message.

2/ the ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

* [PATCH v1] Re-read subscription state after lock in AlterSubscription
@ 2026-07-02 11:07  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 596+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-02 11:07 UTC (permalink / raw)

AlterSubscription() reads the subscription's catalog state via GetSubscription()
before acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription object. A concurrent
session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by:

- Re-reading the subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() and refreshing the
  Subscription struct.
- Moving the local variable assignments to after the re-read.
- Re-checking the password_required privilege restriction after the re-read.

Remarks:

1/ not re-checking password_required after the re-read would still produce a
"tuple concurrently updated" error, but re-checking it allows us to display a
better error message.

2/ the ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

* [PATCH v1] Re-read subscription state after lock in AlterSubscription
@ 2026-07-02 11:07  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

AlterSubscription() reads the subscription's catalog state via GetSubscription()
before acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription object. A concurrent
session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by:

- Re-reading the subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() and refreshing the
  Subscription struct.
- Moving the local variable assignments to after the re-read.
- Re-checking the password_required privilege restriction after the re-read.

Remarks:

1/ not re-checking password_required after the re-read would still produce a
"tuple concurrently updated" error, but re-checking it allows us to display a
better error message.

2/ the ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

* [PATCH v1] Re-read subscription state after lock in AlterSubscription
@ 2026-07-02 11:07  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

AlterSubscription() reads the subscription's catalog state via GetSubscription()
before acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription object. A concurrent
session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by:

- Re-reading the subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() and refreshing the
  Subscription struct.
- Moving the local variable assignments to after the re-read.
- Re-checking the password_required privilege restriction after the re-read.

Remarks:

1/ not re-checking password_required after the re-read would still produce a
"tuple concurrently updated" error, but re-checking it allows us to display a
better error message.

2/ the ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

- Re-checking the password_required privilege restriction after the re-read.

Remarks:

1/ not re-checking password_required after the re-read would still produce a
"tuple concurrently updated" error, but re-checking it allows us to display a
better error message.

2/ the ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

* [PATCH v1] Re-read subscription state after lock in AlterSubscription
@ 2026-07-02 11:07  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

AlterSubscription() reads the subscription's catalog state via GetSubscription()
before acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription object. A concurrent
session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by:

- Re-reading the subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() and refreshing the
  Subscription struct.
- Moving the local variable assignments to after the re-read.
- Re-checking the password_required privilege restriction after the re-read.

Remarks:

1/ not re-checking password_required after the re-read would still produce a
"tuple concurrently updated" error, but re-checking it allows us to display a
better error message.

2/ the ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.

* [PATCH v1] Re-read subscription state after lock in AlterSubscription
@ 2026-07-02 11:07  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-02 11:07 UTC (permalink / raw)

AlterSubscription() reads the subscription's catalog state via GetSubscription()
before acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription object. A concurrent
session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by:

- Re-reading the subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() and refreshing the
  Subscription struct.
- Moving the local variable assignments to after the re-read.
- Re-checking the password_required privilege restriction after the re-read.

Remarks:

1/ not re-checking password_required after the re-read would still produce a
"tuple concurrently updated" error, but re-checking it allows us to display a
better error message.

2/ the ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

* [PATCH v1] Re-read subscription state after lock in AlterSubscription
@ 2026-07-02 11:07  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

AlterSubscription() reads the subscription's catalog state via GetSubscription()
before acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription object. A concurrent
session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by:

- Re-reading the subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() and refreshing the
  Subscription struct.
- Moving the local variable assignments to after the re-read.
- Re-checking the password_required privilege restriction after the re-read.

Remarks:

1/ not re-checking password_required after the re-read would still produce a
"tuple concurrently updated" error, but re-checking it allows us to display a
better error message.

2/ the ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by:

- Re-reading the subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() and refreshing the
  Subscription struct.
- Moving the local variable assignments to after the re-read.
- Re-checking the password_required privilege restriction after the re-read.

Remarks:

1/ not re-checking password_required after the re-read would still produce a
"tuple concurrently updated" error, but re-checking it allows us to display a
better error message.

2/ the ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

* Re-read subscription state after lock in AlterSubscription

Hi hackers,

while playing with the new ALTER SUBSCRIPTION parameter added in a5918fddf10,
I realized that the subscription is not re-read once we acquire the lock in
AlterSubscription().

This pre-existing issue is now more visible after a5918fddf10:

1/ two concurrent ALTER SUBSCRIPTION SET (conflict_log_destination = 'table')
could result in the second session attempting to create an already-existing
conflict log table, producing a confusing "relation already exists" error:

ERROR:  relation "pg_conflict_log_24614" already exists

It's confusing because ALTER SUBSCRIPTION SET (conflict_log_destination = 'table')
would not report an error if the conflict table already exists (and no concurrent
ALTER is running).

2/ a concurrent DROP followed by the ALTER would emit a NOTICE about creating the
conflict log table before failing with "referenced subscription was concurrently
dropped". That sounds like a weird messaging:

NOTICE:  created conflict log table "pg_conflict.pg_conflict_log_24620" for subscription "mysub"
ERROR:  referenced subscription was concurrently dropped

The attached fixes it by:

- Re-reading the subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() and refreshing the
  Subscription struct.
- Moving the local variable assignments to after the re-read.
- Re-checking the password_required privilege restriction after the re-read.

Remarks:

1/ not re-checking password_required after the re-read would still produce a
"tuple concurrently updated" error, but re-checking it allows us to display a
better error message.

2/ the ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

3/ the "privileges" checks are still also done before the lock acquisition because
we don't want to lock an object we don't have privileges on.

Thanks Bertrand, yeah this seems like a valid issue, and I agree we
need to reread the subscription after acquiring the object lock.

Dear Bertrand,

Good catch. Current code allows that old `sub` value is retained, so it sounds
reasonable fix even for me.

BTW, the issue that GetSubscription() is called before the LockSharedObject() looks
the existing issues even on REL_13_STABLE. So does it mean that there were no
cases that concurrent altering can be the unexpected state? At least,
"retain_dead_tuples" can avoid the issue because the launcher manages the
conflict slot.

Yeah, but I think they would produce "tuple concurrently updated" error (due to 
CatalogTupleUpdate) so that invalid information could not be used.

Dear Bertrand,

I confirmed with PG14 that tuple concurrently updated ERROR can be raised when
ALTER SUBSCRIPTION DISABLE happens concurrently:

```
postgres=# ALTER SUBSCRIPTION sub DISABLE ;
ERROR:  tuple concurrently updated
```

It might be harmless but I think the correct ERROR should be reported: the patch
should be backpatched. Thought?

Yeah, reproducible by using a breakpoint just before acquiring the lock for example.

I'm not sure about the back patch part as it would only improve error messages
in a rare race condition (and there is no risk of invalid data being used).

Since a5918fddf10, that's a different story because a table creation is now
involved.

Patch LGTM. IMHO we can backpatch this as it is a small change and
also fixes the bug, without this fix a non-superuser executing  ALTER
SUBSCRIPTION could bypass the password_required=false restriction if a
concurrent transaction
updated that flag.  However, we could argue that this is a corner case
and can be skipped but given the patch's simplicity, I recommend
backpatching.

* [PATCH v2 1/2] Re-read subscription state after lock in AlterSubscription

AlterSubscription() reads the subscription's catalog state via GetSubscription()
before acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription object. A concurrent
session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by:

- Re-reading the subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() and refreshing the
  Subscription struct.
- Moving the local variable assignments to after the re-read.
- Re-checking the password_required privilege restriction after the re-read.

Remarks:

1/ not re-checking password_required after the re-read would still produce a
"tuple concurrently updated" error, but re-checking it allows us to display a
better error message.

2/ the ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

* [PATCH v2 1/2] Re-read subscription state after lock in AlterSubscription
@ 2026-07-03 05:17  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

AlterSubscription() reads the subscription's catalog state via GetSubscription()
before acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription object. A concurrent
session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by:

- Re-reading the subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() and refreshing the
  Subscription struct.
- Moving the local variable assignments to after the re-read.
- Re-checking the password_required privilege restriction after the re-read.

Remarks:

1/ not re-checking password_required after the re-read would still produce a
"tuple concurrently updated" error, but re-checking it allows us to display a
better error message.

2/ the ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

* [PATCH v2 1/2] Re-read subscription state after lock in AlterSubscription
@ 2026-07-03 05:17  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-03 05:17 UTC (permalink / raw)

AlterSubscription() reads the subscription's catalog state via GetSubscription()
before acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription object. A concurrent
session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by:

- Re-reading the subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() and refreshing the
  Subscription struct.
- Moving the local variable assignments to after the re-read.
- Re-checking the password_required privilege restriction after the re-read.

Remarks:

1/ not re-checking password_required after the re-read would still produce a
"tuple concurrently updated" error, but re-checking it allows us to display a
better error message.

2/ the ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

before acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription object. A concurrent
session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by:

- Re-reading the subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() and refreshing the
  Subscription struct.
- Moving the local variable assignments to after the re-read.
- Re-checking the password_required privilege restriction after the re-read.

Remarks:

1/ not re-checking password_required after the re-read would still produce a
"tuple concurrently updated" error, but re-checking it allows us to display a
better error message.

2/ the ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

* [PATCH v2 1/2] Re-read subscription state after lock in AlterSubscription
@ 2026-07-03 05:17  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

AlterSubscription() reads the subscription's catalog state via GetSubscription()
before acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription object. A concurrent
session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by:

- Re-reading the subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() and refreshing the
  Subscription struct.
- Moving the local variable assignments to after the re-read.
- Re-checking the password_required privilege restriction after the re-read.

Remarks:

1/ not re-checking password_required after the re-read would still produce a
"tuple concurrently updated" error, but re-checking it allows us to display a
better error message.

2/ the ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

* [PATCH v2 1/2] Re-read subscription state after lock in AlterSubscription
@ 2026-07-03 05:17  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

AlterSubscription() reads the subscription's catalog state via GetSubscription()
before acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription object. A concurrent
session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by:

- Re-reading the subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() and refreshing the
  Subscription struct.
- Moving the local variable assignments to after the re-read.
- Re-checking the password_required privilege restriction after the re-read.

Remarks:

1/ not re-checking password_required after the re-read would still produce a
"tuple concurrently updated" error, but re-checking it allows us to display a
better error message.

2/ the ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

* [PATCH v2 1/2] Re-read subscription state after lock in AlterSubscription
@ 2026-07-03 05:17  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

AlterSubscription() reads the subscription's catalog state via GetSubscription()
before acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription object. A concurrent
session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by:

- Re-reading the subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() and refreshing the
  Subscription struct.
- Moving the local variable assignments to after the re-read.
- Re-checking the password_required privilege restriction after the re-read.

Remarks:

1/ not re-checking password_required after the re-read would still produce a
"tuple concurrently updated" error, but re-checking it allows us to display a
better error message.

2/ the ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

* [PATCH v2 1/2] Re-read subscription state after lock in AlterSubscription
@ 2026-07-03 05:17  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-03 05:17 UTC (permalink / raw)

AlterSubscription() reads the subscription's catalog state via GetSubscription()
before acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription object. A concurrent
session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by:

- Re-reading the subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() and refreshing the
  Subscription struct.
- Moving the local variable assignments to after the re-read.
- Re-checking the password_required privilege restriction after the re-read.

Remarks:

1/ not re-checking password_required after the re-read would still produce a
"tuple concurrently updated" error, but re-checking it allows us to display a
better error message.

2/ the ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

AlterSubscription() reads the subscription's catalog state via GetSubscription()
before acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription object. A concurrent
session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by:

- Re-reading the subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() and refreshing the
  Subscription struct.
- Moving the local variable assignments to after the re-read.
- Re-checking the password_required privilege restriction after the re-read.

Remarks:

1/ not re-checking password_required after the re-read would still produce a
"tuple concurrently updated" error, but re-checking it allows us to display a
better error message.

2/ the ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

* [PATCH v2 1/2] Re-read subscription state after lock in AlterSubscription
@ 2026-07-03 05:17  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

AlterSubscription() reads the subscription's catalog state via GetSubscription()
before acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription object. A concurrent
session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by:

- Re-reading the subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() and refreshing the
  Subscription struct.
- Moving the local variable assignments to after the re-read.
- Re-checking the password_required privilege restriction after the re-read.

Remarks:

1/ not re-checking password_required after the re-read would still produce a
"tuple concurrently updated" error, but re-checking it allows us to display a
better error message.

2/ the ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

* [PATCH v2 1/2] Re-read subscription state after lock in AlterSubscription
@ 2026-07-03 05:17  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

AlterSubscription() reads the subscription's catalog state via GetSubscription()
before acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription object. A concurrent
session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by:

- Re-reading the subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() and refreshing the
  Subscription struct.
- Moving the local variable assignments to after the re-read.
- Re-checking the password_required privilege restriction after the re-read.

Remarks:

1/ not re-checking password_required after the re-read would still produce a
"tuple concurrently updated" error, but re-checking it allows us to display a
better error message.

2/ the ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

* [PATCH v2 1/2] Re-read subscription state after lock in AlterSubscription
@ 2026-07-03 05:17  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

AlterSubscription() reads the subscription's catalog state via GetSubscription()
before acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription object. A concurrent
session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by:

- Re-reading the subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() and refreshing the
  Subscription struct.
- Moving the local variable assignments to after the re-read.
- Re-checking the password_required privilege restriction after the re-read.

Remarks:

1/ not re-checking password_required after the re-read would still produce a
"tuple concurrently updated" error, but re-checking it allows us to display a
better error message.

2/ the ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

* [PATCH v2 1/2] Re-read subscription state after lock in AlterSubscription
@ 2026-07-03 05:17  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-03 05:17 UTC (permalink / raw)

AlterSubscription() reads the subscription's catalog state via GetSubscription()
before acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription object. A concurrent
session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by:

- Re-reading the subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() and refreshing the
  Subscription struct.
- Moving the local variable assignments to after the re-read.
- Re-checking the password_required privilege restriction after the re-read.

Remarks:

1/ not re-checking password_required after the re-read would still produce a
"tuple concurrently updated" error, but re-checking it allows us to display a
better error message.

2/ the ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

AlterSubscription() reads the subscription's catalog state via GetSubscription()
before acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription object. A concurrent
session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by:

- Re-reading the subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() and refreshing the
  Subscription struct.
- Moving the local variable assignments to after the re-read.
- Re-checking the password_required privilege restriction after the re-read.

Remarks:

1/ not re-checking password_required after the re-read would still produce a
"tuple concurrently updated" error, but re-checking it allows us to display a
better error message.

2/ the ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

* [PATCH v2 1/2] Re-read subscription state after lock in AlterSubscription
@ 2026-07-03 05:17  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

AlterSubscription() reads the subscription's catalog state via GetSubscription()
before acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription object. A concurrent
session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by:

- Re-reading the subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() and refreshing the
  Subscription struct.
- Moving the local variable assignments to after the re-read.
- Re-checking the password_required privilege restriction after the re-read.

Remarks:

1/ not re-checking password_required after the re-read would still produce a
"tuple concurrently updated" error, but re-checking it allows us to display a
better error message.

2/ the ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

Similarly to what has been done for AlterSubscription() in XXXX, re-read the

A concurrent DROP or ALTER may have committed while we were waiting for the lock.
Without a re-read, DropSubscription would deal with invalid data, which currently
produces a confusing "tuple concurrently updated" elog() from CatalogTupleDelete().

* [PATCH v2 2/2] Re-read subscription state after lock in DropSubscription

Similarly to what has been done for AlterSubscription() in XXXX, re-read the
subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() in DropSubscription().

A concurrent DROP or ALTER may have committed while we were waiting for the lock.
Without a re-read, DropSubscription would deal with invalid data, which currently
produces a confusing "tuple concurrently updated" elog() from CatalogTupleDelete().

Similarly to what has been done for AlterSubscription() in XXXX, re-read the
subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() in DropSubscription().

A concurrent DROP or ALTER may have committed while we were waiting for the lock.
Without a re-read, DropSubscription would deal with invalid data, which currently
produces a confusing "tuple concurrently updated" elog() from CatalogTupleDelete().

* [PATCH v2 2/2] Re-read subscription state after lock in DropSubscription

Similarly to what has been done for AlterSubscription() in XXXX, re-read the
subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() in DropSubscription().

A concurrent DROP or ALTER may have committed while we were waiting for the lock.
Without a re-read, DropSubscription would deal with invalid data, which currently
produces a confusing "tuple concurrently updated" elog() from CatalogTupleDelete().

* [PATCH v2 2/2] Re-read subscription state after lock in DropSubscription

Similarly to what has been done for AlterSubscription() in XXXX, re-read the
subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() in DropSubscription().

A concurrent DROP or ALTER may have committed while we were waiting for the lock.
Without a re-read, DropSubscription would deal with invalid data, which currently
produces a confusing "tuple concurrently updated" elog() from CatalogTupleDelete().

* [PATCH v2 2/2] Re-read subscription state after lock in DropSubscription
@ 2026-07-03 05:18  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

Similarly to what has been done for AlterSubscription() in XXXX, re-read the
subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() in DropSubscription().

A concurrent DROP or ALTER may have committed while we were waiting for the lock.
Without a re-read, DropSubscription would deal with invalid data, which currently
produces a confusing "tuple concurrently updated" elog() from CatalogTupleDelete().

* [PATCH v2 2/2] Re-read subscription state after lock in DropSubscription

Similarly to what has been done for AlterSubscription() in XXXX, re-read the
subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() in DropSubscription().

A concurrent DROP or ALTER may have committed while we were waiting for the lock.
Without a re-read, DropSubscription would deal with invalid data, which currently
produces a confusing "tuple concurrently updated" elog() from CatalogTupleDelete().

* [PATCH v2 2/2] Re-read subscription state after lock in DropSubscription
@ 2026-07-03 05:18  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

Similarly to what has been done for AlterSubscription() in XXXX, re-read the
subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() in DropSubscription().

A concurrent DROP or ALTER may have committed while we were waiting for the lock.
Without a re-read, DropSubscription would deal with invalid data, which currently
produces a confusing "tuple concurrently updated" elog() from CatalogTupleDelete().

* [PATCH v2 2/2] Re-read subscription state after lock in DropSubscription

Similarly to what has been done for AlterSubscription() in XXXX, re-read the
subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() in DropSubscription().

A concurrent DROP or ALTER may have committed while we were waiting for the lock.
Without a re-read, DropSubscription would deal with invalid data, which currently
produces a confusing "tuple concurrently updated" elog() from CatalogTupleDelete().

A concurrent DROP or ALTER may have committed while we were waiting for the lock.
Without a re-read, DropSubscription would deal with invalid data, which currently
produces a confusing "tuple concurrently updated" elog() from CatalogTupleDelete().

* [PATCH v2 2/2] Re-read subscription state after lock in DropSubscription

Similarly to what has been done for AlterSubscription() in XXXX, re-read the
subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() in DropSubscription().

A concurrent DROP or ALTER may have committed while we were waiting for the lock.
Without a re-read, DropSubscription would deal with invalid data, which currently
produces a confusing "tuple concurrently updated" elog() from CatalogTupleDelete().

Similarly to what has been done for AlterSubscription() in XXXX, re-read the
subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() in DropSubscription().

A concurrent DROP or ALTER may have committed while we were waiting for the lock.
Without a re-read, DropSubscription would deal with invalid data, which currently
produces a confusing "tuple concurrently updated" elog() from CatalogTupleDelete().

I don't think that's right. I just tested it with a breakpoint that way:

ALTER SUBSCRIPTION mysub SET (password_required = true);
ALTER SUBSCRIPTION mysub OWNER TO nonsuperuser;

gdb breakpoint at subscriptioncmds.c:1714 on session 1 (nonsuperuser)

session 1 (as nonsuperuser): start ALTER SUBSCRIPTION mysub SET (binary = true);
session 1 is paused by the breakpoint
session 2 (as superuser): ALTER SUBSCRIPTION mysub SET (password_required = false); 
continue session 1, gives:

postgres=> ALTER SUBSCRIPTION mysub SET (binary = true);
ERROR:  tuple concurrently updated

So it's also "protected" by this error.

That's right but that would only improve error messages. That said, looking closer,
they are elog() ones, so "not expected" to occur so yeah backpatch does make sense.

That said, what about also fixing DropSubscription() like in the 0002 attached?
(that would also produce those elog() messages in case of concurrent DROP or ALTER).

+1 for backpatching, even if it's rare, the "ERROR: tuple concurrently updated"
message seems confusing to me.

For the patch, I'm not sure if we must repeat the checks twice. Could we
simply move the original checks to after we take the lock? At least, the
GetSubscription() call and the password check can be moved there and old codes
can be deleted.

BTW, this may not be strictly related, but I think it's not safe to do the
ownership check before locking the subscription as well. If the subscription is
concurrently dropped, a "tuple concurrently updated" error can still occur.

(Thanks to Kuroda-San for discussing this with me off-list.)

Hou zj

I'm not sure which checks you refer to. The ones that are keep before the lock
acquisition are because we don't want to lock an object we don't have privileges
on (see remark 3 in [1]).

That's right, I explained why in remark number 2 in [1]:

"
the ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.
"

Does that make sense?

I was referring to the password_required check and the GetSubscription() call.

I think failing the password_required check does not necessarily mean we do not
have the permission to lock the subscription, It seems to me we only need to
disallow changing the subscription data in this case. In
DropSubscription, we take a lock on the subscription regardless of
password_required.

Hou zj

I also think backpatching makes sense. BTW, I have a comment:
+ heap_freetuple(tup);
+ tup = SearchSysCacheCopy2(SUBSCRIPTIONNAME, ObjectIdGetDatum(MyDatabaseId),
+   CStringGetDatum(stmt->subname));

heap_freetuple() could be done before acquiring the lock, is there a
reason to keep it after lock?

Isn't the same true for the AlterSubscription() case as well? Also, I
noticed that AlterPublication() does the same trick but it uses
PUBLICATIONOID cacheid, so shouldn't we use SUBSCRIPTIONOID cacheid
here as well? I think this is to prevent the case where the same name
pub/sub is recreated after lock.

Similarly to what has been done for AlterSubscription() in XXXX, re-read the
subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() in DropSubscription().

A concurrent DROP or ALTER may have committed while we were waiting for the lock.
Without a re-read, DropSubscription would deal with invalid data, which currently
produces a confusing "tuple concurrently updated" elog() from CatalogTupleDelete().

Similarly to what has been done for AlterSubscription() in XXXX, re-read the
subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() in DropSubscription().

A concurrent DROP or ALTER may have committed while we were waiting for the lock.
Without a re-read, DropSubscription would deal with invalid data, which currently
produces a confusing "tuple concurrently updated" elog() from CatalogTupleDelete().

* [PATCH v4 2/4] Re-read subscription state after lock in DropSubscription

Similarly to what has been done for AlterSubscription() in XXXX, re-read the
subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() in DropSubscription().

A concurrent DROP or ALTER may have committed while we were waiting for the lock.
Without a re-read, DropSubscription would deal with invalid data, which currently
produces a confusing "tuple concurrently updated" elog() from CatalogTupleDelete().

Similarly to what has been done for AlterSubscription() in XXXX, re-read the
subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() in DropSubscription().

A concurrent DROP or ALTER may have committed while we were waiting for the lock.
Without a re-read, DropSubscription would deal with invalid data, which currently
produces a confusing "tuple concurrently updated" elog() from CatalogTupleDelete().

* [PATCH v3 2/4] Re-read subscription state after lock in DropSubscription

Similarly to what has been done for AlterSubscription() in XXXX, re-read the
subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() in DropSubscription().

A concurrent DROP or ALTER may have committed while we were waiting for the lock.
Without a re-read, DropSubscription would deal with invalid data, which currently
produces a confusing "tuple concurrently updated" elog() from CatalogTupleDelete().

Similarly to what has been done for AlterSubscription() in XXXX, re-read the
subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() in DropSubscription().

A concurrent DROP or ALTER may have committed while we were waiting for the lock.
Without a re-read, DropSubscription would deal with invalid data, which currently
produces a confusing "tuple concurrently updated" elog() from CatalogTupleDelete().

* [PATCH v4 2/4] Re-read subscription state after lock in DropSubscription

Similarly to what has been done for AlterSubscription() in XXXX, re-read the
subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() in DropSubscription().

A concurrent DROP or ALTER may have committed while we were waiting for the lock.
Without a re-read, DropSubscription would deal with invalid data, which currently
produces a confusing "tuple concurrently updated" elog() from CatalogTupleDelete().

* [PATCH v3 2/4] Re-read subscription state after lock in DropSubscription

Similarly to what has been done for AlterSubscription() in XXXX, re-read the
subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() in DropSubscription().

A concurrent DROP or ALTER may have committed while we were waiting for the lock.
Without a re-read, DropSubscription would deal with invalid data, which currently
produces a confusing "tuple concurrently updated" elog() from CatalogTupleDelete().

* [PATCH v4 2/4] Re-read subscription state after lock in DropSubscription

Similarly to what has been done for AlterSubscription() in XXXX, re-read the
subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() in DropSubscription().

A concurrent DROP or ALTER may have committed while we were waiting for the lock.
Without a re-read, DropSubscription would deal with invalid data, which currently
produces a confusing "tuple concurrently updated" elog() from CatalogTupleDelete().

* [PATCH v4 2/4] Re-read subscription state after lock in DropSubscription

Similarly to what has been done for AlterSubscription() in XXXX, re-read the
subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() in DropSubscription().

A concurrent DROP or ALTER may have committed while we were waiting for the lock.
Without a re-read, DropSubscription would deal with invalid data, which currently
produces a confusing "tuple concurrently updated" elog() from CatalogTupleDelete().

* [PATCH v3 2/4] Re-read subscription state after lock in DropSubscription

Similarly to what has been done for AlterSubscription() in XXXX, re-read the
subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() in DropSubscription().

A concurrent DROP or ALTER may have committed while we were waiting for the lock.
Without a re-read, DropSubscription would deal with invalid data, which currently
produces a confusing "tuple concurrently updated" elog() from CatalogTupleDelete().

* [PATCH v4 2/4] Re-read subscription state after lock in DropSubscription

Similarly to what has been done for AlterSubscription() in XXXX, re-read the
subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() in DropSubscription().

A concurrent DROP or ALTER may have committed while we were waiting for the lock.
Without a re-read, DropSubscription would deal with invalid data, which currently
produces a confusing "tuple concurrently updated" elog() from CatalogTupleDelete().

* [PATCH v4 2/4] Re-read subscription state after lock in DropSubscription

Similarly to what has been done for AlterSubscription() in XXXX, re-read the
subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() in DropSubscription().

A concurrent DROP or ALTER may have committed while we were waiting for the lock.
Without a re-read, DropSubscription would deal with invalid data, which currently
produces a confusing "tuple concurrently updated" elog() from CatalogTupleDelete().

* [PATCH v3 2/4] Re-read subscription state after lock in DropSubscription
@ 2026-07-03 11:54  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

Similarly to what has been done for AlterSubscription() in XXXX, re-read the
subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() in DropSubscription().

A concurrent DROP or ALTER may have committed while we were waiting for the lock.
Without a re-read, DropSubscription would deal with invalid data, which currently
produces a confusing "tuple concurrently updated" elog() from CatalogTupleDelete().

* [PATCH v4 2/4] Re-read subscription state after lock in DropSubscription
@ 2026-07-03 11:54  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

Similarly to what has been done for AlterSubscription() in XXXX, re-read the
subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() in DropSubscription().

A concurrent DROP or ALTER may have committed while we were waiting for the lock.
Without a re-read, DropSubscription would deal with invalid data, which currently
produces a confusing "tuple concurrently updated" elog() from CatalogTupleDelete().

* [PATCH v4 2/4] Re-read subscription state after lock in DropSubscription
@ 2026-07-03 11:54  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

Similarly to what has been done for AlterSubscription() in XXXX, re-read the
subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() in DropSubscription().

A concurrent DROP or ALTER may have committed while we were waiting for the lock.
Without a re-read, DropSubscription would deal with invalid data, which currently
produces a confusing "tuple concurrently updated" elog() from CatalogTupleDelete().

* [PATCH v4 2/4] Re-read subscription state after lock in DropSubscription
@ 2026-07-03 11:54  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

Similarly to what has been done for AlterSubscription() in XXXX, re-read the
subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() in DropSubscription().

A concurrent DROP or ALTER may have committed while we were waiting for the lock.
Without a re-read, DropSubscription would deal with invalid data, which currently
produces a confusing "tuple concurrently updated" elog() from CatalogTupleDelete().

* [PATCH v3 2/4] Re-read subscription state after lock in DropSubscription

Similarly to what has been done for AlterSubscription() in XXXX, re-read the
subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() in DropSubscription().

A concurrent DROP or ALTER may have committed while we were waiting for the lock.
Without a re-read, DropSubscription would deal with invalid data, which currently
produces a confusing "tuple concurrently updated" elog() from CatalogTupleDelete().

* [PATCH v4 2/4] Re-read subscription state after lock in DropSubscription
@ 2026-07-03 11:54  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

Similarly to what has been done for AlterSubscription() in XXXX, re-read the
subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() in DropSubscription().

A concurrent DROP or ALTER may have committed while we were waiting for the lock.
Without a re-read, DropSubscription would deal with invalid data, which currently
produces a confusing "tuple concurrently updated" elog() from CatalogTupleDelete().

* [PATCH v4 2/4] Re-read subscription state after lock in DropSubscription
@ 2026-07-03 11:54  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

Similarly to what has been done for AlterSubscription() in XXXX, re-read the
subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() in DropSubscription().

A concurrent DROP or ALTER may have committed while we were waiting for the lock.
Without a re-read, DropSubscription would deal with invalid data, which currently
produces a confusing "tuple concurrently updated" elog() from CatalogTupleDelete().

* [PATCH v3 2/4] Re-read subscription state after lock in DropSubscription
@ 2026-07-03 11:54  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

Similarly to what has been done for AlterSubscription() in XXXX, re-read the
subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() in DropSubscription().

A concurrent DROP or ALTER may have committed while we were waiting for the lock.
Without a re-read, DropSubscription would deal with invalid data, which currently
produces a confusing "tuple concurrently updated" elog() from CatalogTupleDelete().

* [PATCH v3 2/4] Re-read subscription state after lock in DropSubscription

Similarly to what has been done for AlterSubscription() in XXXX, re-read the
subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() in DropSubscription().

A concurrent DROP or ALTER may have committed while we were waiting for the lock.
Without a re-read, DropSubscription would deal with invalid data, which currently
produces a confusing "tuple concurrently updated" elog() from CatalogTupleDelete().

* [PATCH v3 2/4] Re-read subscription state after lock in DropSubscription
@ 2026-07-03 11:54  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

Similarly to what has been done for AlterSubscription() in XXXX, re-read the
subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() in DropSubscription().

A concurrent DROP or ALTER may have committed while we were waiting for the lock.
Without a re-read, DropSubscription would deal with invalid data, which currently
produces a confusing "tuple concurrently updated" elog() from CatalogTupleDelete().

* [PATCH v4 2/4] Re-read subscription state after lock in DropSubscription
@ 2026-07-03 11:54  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

Similarly to what has been done for AlterSubscription() in XXXX, re-read the
subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() in DropSubscription().

A concurrent DROP or ALTER may have committed while we were waiting for the lock.
Without a re-read, DropSubscription would deal with invalid data, which currently
produces a confusing "tuple concurrently updated" elog() from CatalogTupleDelete().

* [PATCH v4 2/4] Re-read subscription state after lock in DropSubscription
@ 2026-07-03 11:54  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

Similarly to what has been done for AlterSubscription() in XXXX, re-read the
subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() in DropSubscription().

A concurrent DROP or ALTER may have committed while we were waiting for the lock.
Without a re-read, DropSubscription would deal with invalid data, which currently
produces a confusing "tuple concurrently updated" elog() from CatalogTupleDelete().

* [PATCH v4 2/4] Re-read subscription state after lock in DropSubscription

Similarly to what has been done for AlterSubscription() in XXXX, re-read the
subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() in DropSubscription().

A concurrent DROP or ALTER may have committed while we were waiting for the lock.
Without a re-read, DropSubscription would deal with invalid data, which currently
produces a confusing "tuple concurrently updated" elog() from CatalogTupleDelete().

subscription tuple after LockSharedObject() in DropSubscription().

A concurrent DROP or ALTER may have committed while we were waiting for the lock.
Without a re-read, DropSubscription would deal with invalid data, which currently
produces a confusing "tuple concurrently updated" elog() from CatalogTupleDelete().

* [PATCH v3 1/4] Re-read subscription state after lock in AlterSubscription

AlterSubscription() reads the subscription's catalog state via GetSubscription()
before acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription object. A concurrent
session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by moving the GetSubscription() call, the password_required privilege check,
and the local variable assignments to after LockSharedObject(), with a re-read of
the subscription tuple to ensure we operate on current catalog state.

Remark:

The ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

* [PATCH v3 1/4] Re-read subscription state after lock in AlterSubscription

AlterSubscription() reads the subscription's catalog state via GetSubscription()
before acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription object. A concurrent
session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by moving the GetSubscription() call, the password_required privilege check,
and the local variable assignments to after LockSharedObject(), with a re-read of
the subscription tuple to ensure we operate on current catalog state.

Remark:

The ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after

CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

* [PATCH v3 1/4] Re-read subscription state after lock in AlterSubscription
@ 2026-07-03 12:28  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

AlterSubscription() reads the subscription's catalog state via GetSubscription()
before acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription object. A concurrent
session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by moving the GetSubscription() call, the password_required privilege check,
and the local variable assignments to after LockSharedObject(), with a re-read of
the subscription tuple to ensure we operate on current catalog state.

Remark:

The ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

* [PATCH v3 1/4] Re-read subscription state after lock in AlterSubscription
@ 2026-07-03 12:28  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

AlterSubscription() reads the subscription's catalog state via GetSubscription()
before acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription object. A concurrent
session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by moving the GetSubscription() call, the password_required privilege check,
and the local variable assignments to after LockSharedObject(), with a re-read of
the subscription tuple to ensure we operate on current catalog state.

Remark:

The ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

* [PATCH v4 1/4] Re-read subscription state after lock in AlterSubscription
@ 2026-07-03 12:28  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

AlterSubscription() reads the subscription's catalog state via GetSubscription()
before acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription object. A concurrent
session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by moving the GetSubscription() call, the password_required privilege check,
and the local variable assignments to after LockSharedObject(), with a re-read of
the subscription tuple to ensure we operate on current catalog state.

Remark:

The ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

* [PATCH v4 1/4] Re-read subscription state after lock in AlterSubscription

AlterSubscription() reads the subscription's catalog state via GetSubscription()
before acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription object. A concurrent
session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by moving the GetSubscription() call, the password_required privilege check,
and the local variable assignments to after LockSharedObject(), with a re-read of
the subscription tuple to ensure we operate on current catalog state.

Remark:

The ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

* [PATCH v3 1/4] Re-read subscription state after lock in AlterSubscription

AlterSubscription() reads the subscription's catalog state via GetSubscription()
before acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription object. A concurrent
session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by moving the GetSubscription() call, the password_required privilege check,
and the local variable assignments to after LockSharedObject(), with a re-read of
the subscription tuple to ensure we operate on current catalog state.

Remark:

The ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

* [PATCH v3 1/4] Re-read subscription state after lock in AlterSubscription
@ 2026-07-03 12:28  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

AlterSubscription() reads the subscription's catalog state via GetSubscription()
before acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription object. A concurrent
session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by moving the GetSubscription() call, the password_required privilege check,
and the local variable assignments to after LockSharedObject(), with a re-read of
the subscription tuple to ensure we operate on current catalog state.

Remark:

The ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

* [PATCH v3 1/4] Re-read subscription state after lock in AlterSubscription
@ 2026-07-03 12:28  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

AlterSubscription() reads the subscription's catalog state via GetSubscription()
before acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription object. A concurrent
session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by moving the GetSubscription() call, the password_required privilege check,
and the local variable assignments to after LockSharedObject(), with a re-read of
the subscription tuple to ensure we operate on current catalog state.

Remark:

The ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

* [PATCH v3 1/4] Re-read subscription state after lock in AlterSubscription

AlterSubscription() reads the subscription's catalog state via GetSubscription()
before acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription object. A concurrent
session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by moving the GetSubscription() call, the password_required privilege check,
and the local variable assignments to after LockSharedObject(), with a re-read of
the subscription tuple to ensure we operate on current catalog state.

Remark:

The ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

* [PATCH v3 1/4] Re-read subscription state after lock in AlterSubscription

AlterSubscription() reads the subscription's catalog state via GetSubscription()
before acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription object. A concurrent
session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by moving the GetSubscription() call, the password_required privilege check,
and the local variable assignments to after LockSharedObject(), with a re-read of
the subscription tuple to ensure we operate on current catalog state.

Remark:

The ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

* [PATCH v4 1/4] Re-read subscription state after lock in AlterSubscription

AlterSubscription() reads the subscription's catalog state via GetSubscription()
before acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription object. A concurrent
session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by moving the GetSubscription() call, the password_required privilege check,
and the local variable assignments to after LockSharedObject(), with a re-read of
the subscription tuple to ensure we operate on current catalog state.

Remark:

The ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

* [PATCH v4 1/4] Re-read subscription state after lock in AlterSubscription

AlterSubscription() reads the subscription's catalog state via GetSubscription()
before acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription object. A concurrent
session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by moving the GetSubscription() call, the password_required privilege check,
and the local variable assignments to after LockSharedObject(), with a re-read of
the subscription tuple to ensure we operate on current catalog state.

Remark:

The ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

* [PATCH v3 1/4] Re-read subscription state after lock in AlterSubscription

AlterSubscription() reads the subscription's catalog state via GetSubscription()
before acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription object. A concurrent
session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by moving the GetSubscription() call, the password_required privilege check,
and the local variable assignments to after LockSharedObject(), with a re-read of
the subscription tuple to ensure we operate on current catalog state.

Remark:

The ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

AlterSubscription() reads the subscription's catalog state via GetSubscription()
before acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription object. A concurrent
session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by moving the GetSubscription() call, the password_required privilege check,
and the local variable assignments to after LockSharedObject(), with a re-read of
the subscription tuple to ensure we operate on current catalog state.

Remark:

The ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

AlterSubscription() reads the subscription's catalog state via GetSubscription()
before acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription object. A concurrent
session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by moving the GetSubscription() call, the password_required privilege check,
and the local variable assignments to after LockSharedObject(), with a re-read of
the subscription tuple to ensure we operate on current catalog state.

Remark:

The ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

and the local variable assignments to after LockSharedObject(), with a re-read of
the subscription tuple to ensure we operate on current catalog state.

Remark:

The ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

* [PATCH v4 1/4] Re-read subscription state after lock in AlterSubscription

AlterSubscription() reads the subscription's catalog state via GetSubscription()
before acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription object. A concurrent
session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by moving the GetSubscription() call, the password_required privilege check,
and the local variable assignments to after LockSharedObject(), with a re-read of
the subscription tuple to ensure we operate on current catalog state.

Remark:

The ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

* [PATCH v4 1/4] Re-read subscription state after lock in AlterSubscription
@ 2026-07-03 12:28  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

AlterSubscription() reads the subscription's catalog state via GetSubscription()
before acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription object. A concurrent
session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by moving the GetSubscription() call, the password_required privilege check,
and the local variable assignments to after LockSharedObject(), with a re-read of
the subscription tuple to ensure we operate on current catalog state.

Remark:

The ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

* [PATCH v3 1/4] Re-read subscription state after lock in AlterSubscription
@ 2026-07-03 12:28  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

AlterSubscription() reads the subscription's catalog state via GetSubscription()
before acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription object. A concurrent
session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by moving the GetSubscription() call, the password_required privilege check,
and the local variable assignments to after LockSharedObject(), with a re-read of
the subscription tuple to ensure we operate on current catalog state.

Remark:

The ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

* [PATCH v3 1/4] Re-read subscription state after lock in AlterSubscription
@ 2026-07-03 12:28  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

AlterSubscription() reads the subscription's catalog state via GetSubscription()
before acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription object. A concurrent
session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by moving the GetSubscription() call, the password_required privilege check,
and the local variable assignments to after LockSharedObject(), with a re-read of
the subscription tuple to ensure we operate on current catalog state.

Remark:

The ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

* [PATCH v3 1/4] Re-read subscription state after lock in AlterSubscription
@ 2026-07-03 12:28  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

AlterSubscription() reads the subscription's catalog state via GetSubscription()
before acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription object. A concurrent
session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by moving the GetSubscription() call, the password_required privilege check,
and the local variable assignments to after LockSharedObject(), with a re-read of
the subscription tuple to ensure we operate on current catalog state.

Remark:

The ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

* [PATCH v4 1/4] Re-read subscription state after lock in AlterSubscription

AlterSubscription() reads the subscription's catalog state via GetSubscription()
before acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription object. A concurrent
session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by moving the GetSubscription() call, the password_required privilege check,
and the local variable assignments to after LockSharedObject(), with a re-read of
the subscription tuple to ensure we operate on current catalog state.

Remark:

The ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

* [PATCH v4 1/4] Re-read subscription state after lock in AlterSubscription

AlterSubscription() reads the subscription's catalog state via GetSubscription()
before acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription object. A concurrent
session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by moving the GetSubscription() call, the password_required privilege check,
and the local variable assignments to after LockSharedObject(), with a re-read of
the subscription tuple to ensure we operate on current catalog state.

Remark:

The ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

* [PATCH v3 1/4] Re-read subscription state after lock in AlterSubscription

AlterSubscription() reads the subscription's catalog state via GetSubscription()
before acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription object. A concurrent
session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by moving the GetSubscription() call, the password_required privilege check,
and the local variable assignments to after LockSharedObject(), with a re-read of
the subscription tuple to ensure we operate on current catalog state.

Remark:

The ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

* [PATCH v3 1/4] Re-read subscription state after lock in AlterSubscription

AlterSubscription() reads the subscription's catalog state via GetSubscription()
before acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription object. A concurrent
session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by moving the GetSubscription() call, the password_required privilege check,
and the local variable assignments to after LockSharedObject(), with a re-read of
the subscription tuple to ensure we operate on current catalog state.

Remark:

The ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

* [PATCH v4 1/4] Re-read subscription state after lock in AlterSubscription

AlterSubscription() reads the subscription's catalog state via GetSubscription()
before acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription object. A concurrent
session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by moving the GetSubscription() call, the password_required privilege check,
and the local variable assignments to after LockSharedObject(), with a re-read of
the subscription tuple to ensure we operate on current catalog state.

Remark:

The ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

* [PATCH v3 1/4] Re-read subscription state after lock in AlterSubscription
@ 2026-07-03 12:28  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-07-03 12:28 UTC (permalink / raw)

AlterSubscription() reads the subscription's catalog state via GetSubscription()
before acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription object. A concurrent
session that commits a DROP or ALTER between the read and the lock acquisition
leaves the other session acting with stale information once it unblocks.

Fix by moving the GetSubscription() call, the password_required privilege check,
and the local variable assignments to after LockSharedObject(), with a re-read of
the subscription tuple to ensure we operate on current catalog state.

Remark:

The ownership check is intentionally not re-done after the lock because
AlterSubscriptionOwner() does not take AccessExclusiveLock on the subscription
object: it only takes RowExclusiveLock on the pg_subscription catalog table.
This means ownership can change regardless of our lock, making a re-check after
lock acquisition pointless. The existing "tuple concurrently updated" error from
CatalogTupleUpdate() already provides a protection if ownership changes
concurrently.

No particular reason, could be done before. Done in 0001 attached.

I think there is no need to lock if we are later going to disallow changing the
subscription data due to the password_required/superuser check.

That said moving it as suggested by Hou-san, does simplify the code and the lock
is not held for long, so done that way in 0001.

Oh right and I did it that way in 0001 and 0002.

But while doing this and looking closely, I'm not sure AlterPublication() does
it right. Indeed, in theory, the OID could have been re-used too (between the
time we did the name resolution and the time we lock the publication). I think
what is needed is something similar to RangeVarGetRelidExtended(), means do the
name resolution, acl check (ownership) and lock acquisition, all in unison.

That's what 0003 is trying to achieve for the subscription and 0004 for the 
publication.

What do you think?

0003:

It looks like the implementation of DROP SUBSCRIPTION IF EXISTS has a
concurrent drop race condition in DropSubscription(). Currently, if
stmt->missing_ok is true, the initial lookup safely handles a missing
subscription. However, once a subscription is found and the code
enters the drop loop, a second internal lookup/refetch happens. If a
concurrent transaction drops the subscription after our initial check
but before this internal refetch, the code throws an error.
Essentially, the loop completely ignores the missing_ok flag during
the refetch phase.  Am I missing something?

Dear Bertrand,

Thanks for updating the patch. I found one issue:

```
	/* DROP hook for the subscription being removed */
	InvokeObjectDropHook(SubscriptionRelationId, subid, 0);

```

I think the reporting should be after the loop, otherwise the wrong subid can be
reported. Am I missing something?

Best regards,

It seems RangeVarGetRelidExtended() also doesn't do the additional
invalidation handling if the caller already has an appropriate lock,
see comments [1]. Apart from that also, I am not sure it is a good
ideal to add this additional handling in Pub/Sub DDLs as in worst case
scenario even if the OID is re-used the user will face "tuple
concurrently updated" or similar ERRORs, it won't do anything wrong.
So for such rare cases, it doesn't seem worth adding this additional
re-checking machinery. Based on the same theory, I am thinking again
whether it is worth backpatching these patches? I mean these fall into
the category of improving user facing messages during Pub/Sub DDLs, so
isn't it okay to just push this work in HEAD?

[1]:
/*
 * If no lock requested, we assume the caller knows what they're
 * doing.  They should have already acquired a heavyweight lock on
 * this relation earlier in the processing of this same statement, so
 * it wouldn't be appropriate to AcceptInvalidationMessages() here, as
 * that might pull the rug out from under them.
 */
if (lockmode == NoLock)

Yeah, and I think this is an existing behavior not related to the patch. Currently,
InvokeObjectDropHook() is called before we lock the subscription. I think that
makes more sense to do it after the lock is acquired, so this is now changed in
0002.

Also addressing Dilip's comment in the attached.

IIUC, here the risk is that during the first read and before we take
the Lock, if the same OID is reused for a different subscription then
we may end up modifying an unintended subscription. I think that is a
theoretical risk rather than a practical one. We already note similar
risk at other places, like see comments atop GetNewOidWithIndex(Since
the OID is not immediately inserted into the table, there is a race
condition here; but a problem could occur only if someone else managed
to cycle through 2^32 OIDs and generate the same OID before we finish
inserting our row. This seems unlikely to be a problem.). Similarly
comments atop GetNewRelFileNumber( As with GetNewOidWithIndex(), there
is some theoretical risk of a race) made a note of similar risk. I
feel we should note this in comments rather than trying to add
additional code to handle it.

As per my understanding the loop exists in RangeVarGetRelidExtended()
because relation lookup follows the name, and no lock can pin a
name->OID binding, so the binding can be rebound by concurrent DDL
between lookup and lock. Concretely, our lock protects relation X's
OID, but it can't stop someone renaming X away and handing X's old
name to a different relation Y. The lockable thing (the OID) and the
thing that changes (the name binding) are different objects. The loop
detects exactly this: acquiring the lock runs
AcceptInvalidationMessages(), and if any invalidations arrived while
we waited (inval_count == SharedInvalidMessageCounter), it re-resolves
the name. If the name now maps to a different OID than the one we
locked, it releases the old lock and locks the new OID. It repeats
until the name resolves to the same OID across a lock acquisition —
i.e. until the binding is stable while locked. OTOH, the subscription
path follows the locked OID instead, so it needs only a single
re-read.

With Regards,
Amit Kapila.

I agree OID reuse itself is theoretical.

Not sure it's only about renaming. The commit message of 4240e429d0c mentions
"This was particularly problematic in the case where a table had been dropped
and recreated". b3ad5d02c9c also used the same logic and reasoning "avoids
needlessly failing when the object of interest is concurrently dropped and
recreated".

Also in 4240e429d0c: "there's nothing at all here to guard against similar race
conditions for non-relations": I think that subscriptions and publications are
among those non-relations cases.

I think that's for example what RemoveRelations() was doing before 4240e429d0c
and what get_object_address() was doing before b3ad5d02c9c:

1/ Resolve name to OID
2/ Lock by OID
3/ Check if it still exists
4/ If gone then elog(ERROR..

but has been changed in b3ad5d02c9c with a retry loop.

Also looking at get_object_address(), I can see that it handles publications and
subscriptions:

case OBJECT_PUBLICATION:
case OBJECT_SUBSCRIPTION:
  address = get_object_address_unqualified(objtype,
                                           castNode(String, object), missing_ok);

and that DROP PUBLICATION goes through it, so that it already benefits from the
retry loop in get_object_address().

DROP SUBSCRIPTION however has its own dedicated code path and does not go through
get_object_address(): 0003 adds the retry loop for it. And if DROP already uses
the retry loop then ALTER should probably use it too (also done in 0003 and 0004).
