-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.

- * Process tables in the given database.
- *
- * There are two ways to specify the list of objects to process:
- *
- * 1) The "found_objs" parameter is a double pointer to a fully qualified list
- *    of objects to process, as returned by a previous call to
- *    vacuum_one_database().
- *
- *     a) If both "found_objs" (the double pointer) and "*found_objs" (the
- *        once-dereferenced double pointer) are not NULL, this list takes
- *        priority, and anything specified in "objects" is ignored.
- *
- *     b) If "found_objs" (the double pointer) is not NULL but "*found_objs"
- *        (the once-dereferenced double pointer) _is_ NULL, the "objects"
- *        parameter takes priority, and the results of the catalog query
- *        described in (2) are stored in "found_objs".
- *
- *     c) If "found_objs" (the double pointer) is NULL, the "objects"
- *        parameter again takes priority, and the results of the catalog query
- *        are not saved.
- *
- * 2) The "objects" parameter is a user-specified list of objects to process.
- *    When (1b) or (1c) applies, this function performs a catalog query to
- *    retrieve a fully qualified list of objects to process, as described
- *    below.
- *
- *     a) If "objects" is not NULL, the catalog query gathers only the objects
- *        listed in "objects".
- *
- *     b) If "objects" is NULL, all tables in the database are gathered.
- *
- * Note that this function is only concerned with running exactly one stage
- * when in analyze-in-stages mode; caller must iterate on us if necessary.
- *
- * If concurrentCons is > 1, multiple connections are used to vacuum tables
- * in parallel.

+ * Process tables in the given database.
+ *
+ * There are two ways to specify the list of objects to process:
+ *
+ * 1) The "found_objs" parameter is a double pointer to a fully qualified list
+ *    of objects to process, as returned by a previous call to
+ *    vacuum_one_database().
+ *
+ *     a) If both "found_objs" (the double pointer) and "*found_objs" (the
+ *        once-dereferenced double pointer) are not NULL, this list takes
+ *        priority, and anything specified in "objects" is ignored.
+ *
+ *     b) If "found_objs" (the double pointer) is not NULL but "*found_objs"
+ *        (the once-dereferenced double pointer) _is_ NULL, the "objects"
+ *        parameter takes priority, and the results of the catalog query
+ *        described in (2) are stored in "found_objs".
+ *
+ *     c) If "found_objs" (the double pointer) is NULL, the "objects"
+ *        parameter again takes priority, and the results of the catalog query
+ *        are not saved.
+ *
+ * 2) The "objects" parameter is a user-specified list of objects to process.
+ *    When (1b) or (1c) applies, this function performs a catalog query to
+ *    retrieve a fully qualified list of objects to process, as described
+ *    below.
+ *
+ *     a) If "objects" is not NULL, the catalog query gathers only the objects
+ *        listed in "objects".
+ *
+ *     b) If "objects" is NULL, all tables in the database are gathered.
+ *
+ * Note that this function is only concerned with running exactly one stage
+ * when in analyze-in-stages mode; caller must iterate on us if necessary.
+ *
+ * If concurrentCons is > 1, multiple connections are used to vacuum tables
+ * in parallel.

* [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 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 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 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 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.

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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.

* [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 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 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 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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 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 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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]>

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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).

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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]>

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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.

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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 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 v43 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 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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 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 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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 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 v43 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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.

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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 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 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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 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.

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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 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 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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]>

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
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 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
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 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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 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.

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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 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 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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.

* [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 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 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).

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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 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 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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 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]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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 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.

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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 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]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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 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 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]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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 v47 9/9] 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 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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]>

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
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 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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 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.

* [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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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]>

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
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 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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 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 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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 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 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 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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 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 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]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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]>

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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 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 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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).

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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 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 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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).

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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.

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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.

tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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 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 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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 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 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 v47 9/9] 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 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 v46 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 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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 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 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).

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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]>

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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).

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by 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 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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 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 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).

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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 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 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 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]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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 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).

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by 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 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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]>

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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 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.

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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.

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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]>

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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]>

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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 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]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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 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.

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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]>

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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.

* [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 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 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.

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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]>

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

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

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

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

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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 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 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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.

* [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 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).

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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).

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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]>

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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.

* [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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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).

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
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 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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.

* [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).

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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 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 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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 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.

tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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.

* [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 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.

* [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 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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.

* [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 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.

* [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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 7/7] Teach snapshot builder to skip transactions running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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.

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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 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 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 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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).
@ 2026-03-17 19:22 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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.

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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 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]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog 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 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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).

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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 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).

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
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 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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 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 v46 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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 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 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 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 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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; 1058+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-17 19:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding 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 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.
