Ah so you didn't understand the > + Identifies the following TupleData submessage as a key. > + This field is optional and is only present if > + the update changed the REPLICA IDENTITY index. XXX??? So what happens here is that the update message can contain one or two out of 3 possible tuple submessages. It always contains 'N' message which is the new data. Then it can optionally contain 'O' message with old data if the table has REPLICA IDENTITY FULL (ie, not REPLICA IDENTITY index like pkey, etc). Or it can include 'K' message that only contains old data for the columns in the REPLICA IDENTITY index. But if the REPLICA IDENTITY index didn't change (ie, old and new would be same for those columns) we simply omit the 'K' message and let the downstream take the key data from the 'N' message to save space. -- Petr Jelinek http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
