Peter's concern seemed to be that the use of a subscription option, though convenient, isn't an intuitive natural fit for providing this feature (i.e. ability to skip a transaction by xid). I tend to have that feeling about using a subscription option for this feature. I'm not sure what possible alternative syntax he had in mind and currently can't really think of a good one myself that fits the purpose. I think that the 1st and 2nd patch are useful in their own right, but couldn't this feature (i.e. the 3rd patch) be provided instead as an additional Replication Management function (see 9.27.6)? e.g. pg_replication_skip_xid Regards, Greg Nancarrow Fujitsu Australia
