-Bsymbolic causes a lot of "ld: warning: symbol referencing errors"
warnings. It's quite easy to add the symbol versioning script, we just need a
slightly different parameter name.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v48 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v49 6/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v45 8/8] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v46 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v44 10/10] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v47 9/9] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.

* [PATCH v43 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22  Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 986+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.
