Logical replication behaves similarly to normal DML operations in that
the data will be updated even if it was changed locally on the subscriber
node. If incoming data violates any constraints the replication will
stop. This is referred to as a <em class="firstterm">conflict</em>. When
replicating <code class="command">UPDATE</code> or <code class="command">DELETE</code>
operations, missing data will not produce a conflict and such operations
will simply be skipped.
</p><p>
Logical replication operations are performed with the privileges of the role
which owns the subscription. Permissions failures on target tables will
cause replication conflicts, as will enabled
<a class="link" href="ddl-rowsecurity.html" title="5.8. Row Security Policies">row-level security</a> on target tables
that the subscription owner is subject to, without regard to whether any
policy would ordinarily reject the <code class="command">INSERT</code>,
<code class="command">UPDATE</code>, <code class="command">DELETE</code> or
<code class="command">TRUNCATE</code> which is being replicated. This restriction on
row-level security may be lifted in a future version of
<span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span>.
</p><p>
A conflict will produce an error and will stop the replication; it must be
resolved manually by the user. Details about the conflict can be found in
the subscriber's server log.
</p><p>
The resolution can be done either by changing data or permissions on the subscriber so
that it does not conflict with the incoming change or by skipping the
transaction that conflicts with the existing data. When a conflict produces
an error, the replication won't proceed, and the logical replication worker will
emit the following kind of message to the subscriber's server log:
</p><pre class="screen">
ERROR: duplicate key value violates unique constraint "test_pkey"
DETAIL: Key (c)=(1) already exists.
CONTEXT: processing remote data for replication origin "pg_16395" during "INSERT" for replication target relation "public.test" in transaction 725 finished at 0/14C0378
</pre><p>
The LSN of the transaction that contains the change violating the constraint and
the replication origin name can be found from the server log (LSN 0/14C0378 and
replication origin <code class="literal">pg_16395</code> in the above case). The
transaction that produced the conflict can be skipped by using
<code class="command">ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... SKIP</code> with the finish LSN
(i.e., LSN 0/14C0378). The finish LSN could be an LSN at which the transaction
is committed or prepared on the publisher. Alternatively, the transaction can
also be skipped by calling the <a class="link" href="functions-admin.html#PG-REPLICATION-ORIGIN-ADVANCE">
<code class="function">pg_replication_origin_advance()</code></a> function.
Before using this function, the subscription needs to be disabled temporarily
either by <code class="command">ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... DISABLE</code> or, the
subscription can be used with the
<a class="link" href="sql-createsubscription.html#SQL-CREATESUBSCRIPTION-WITH-DISABLE-ON-ERROR"><code class="literal">disable_on_error</code></a>
option. Then, you can use <code class="function">pg_replication_origin_advance()</code>
function with the <em class="parameter"><code>node_name</code></em> (i.e., <code class="literal">pg_16395</code>)
and the next LSN of the finish LSN (i.e., 0/14C0379). The current position of
origins can be seen in the <a class="link" href="view-pg-replication-origin-status.html" title="54.18. pg_replication_origin_status">
<code class="structname">pg_replication_origin_status</code></a> system view.
Please note that skipping the whole transaction includes skipping changes that
might not violate any constraint. This can easily make the subscriber
inconsistent.
</p><p>
When the
<a class="link" href="sql-createsubscription.html#SQL-CREATESUBSCRIPTION-WITH-STREAMING"><code class="literal">streaming</code></a>
mode is <code class="literal">parallel</code>, the finish LSN of failed transactions
may not be logged. In that case, it may be necessary to change the streaming
mode to <code class="literal">on</code> or <code class="literal">off</code> and cause the same
conflicts again so the finish LSN of the failed transaction will be written
to the server log. For the usage of finish LSN, please refer to <a class="link" href="sql-altersubscription.html" title="ALTER SUBSCRIPTION"><code class="command">ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ...
SKIP</code></a>.
