ok my bad.
i just set one of the 9.6.9 versions to have max_replication_slots =2 and
still i had to slots active.
ostgres=# table pg_replication_slots;
slot_name | plugin | slot_type | datoid | database | active
| active_pid | xmin | catalog_xmin | restart_lsn | confirmed_flush_lsn
-------------------------+--------+-----------+--------+----------+--------+------------+------+--------------+-------------+---------------------
a02 | | physical | | | t | 13719 |
| | 2/D30000D0 |
a03 | | physical | | | t | 13720 | |
| 2/D30000D0 |
(2 rows)
postgres=# show max_replication_slots;
max_replication_slots
-----------------------
2
(1 row)
yep it should work with 2.
Regards,
Vijay
