The following documentation comment has been logged on the website: Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/functions-admin.html Description:
It is not obvious from reading the description for function pg_logical_slot_get_changes that it is a "destructive" function, and this bit me. I was not clearly aware that this function consumes the replication stream such that it's no longer available if I use it to look at the logical stream, i.e., I MUST use the peek function for that purpose. This is more clear in the full examples of logical decoding. Also, it says in the "peek" function that the peek function does not consume changes like the get function - but that should be stated clearly in the get function description. The name of the function itself is part of the problem: "get" does not normally indicate "destroy" as well.... Thanks!
