+ PostgreSQL provides infrastructure to stream the modifications performed
+ via SQL to external consumers. This functionality can be used for a
+ variety of purposes, including replication solutions and auditing.
+ </p><p>
+ Changes are sent out in streams identified by logical replication slots.
+ </p><p>
+ The format in which those changes are streamed is determined by the output
+ plugin used. An example plugin is provided in the PostgreSQL distribution.
+ Additional plugins can be
+ written to extend the choice of available formats without modifying any
+ core code.
+ Every output plugin has access to each individual new row produced
+ by <code class="command">INSERT</code> and the new row version created
+ by <code class="command">UPDATE</code>. Availability of old row versions for
+ <code class="command">UPDATE</code> and <code class="command">DELETE</code> depends on
+ the configured replica identity (see <a class="xref" href="sql-altertable.html#SQL-CREATETABLE-REPLICA-IDENTITY"><code class="literal">REPLICA IDENTITY</code></a>).
+ </p><p>
+ Changes can be consumed either using the streaming replication protocol
+ (see <a class="xref" href="protocol-replication.html" title="52.4. Streaming Replication Protocol">Section 52.4</a> and
+ <a class="xref" href="logicaldecoding-walsender.html" title="48.3. Streaming Replication Protocol Interface">Section 48.3</a>), or by calling functions
+ via SQL (see <a class="xref" href="logicaldecoding-sql.html" title="48.4. Logical Decoding SQL Interface">Section 48.4</a>). It is also possible
+ to write additional methods of consuming the output of a replication slot
+ without modifying core code
+ (see <a class="xref" href="logicaldecoding-writer.html" title="48.7. Logical Decoding Output Writers">Section 48.7</a>).
