+ <code class="command">CREATE SUBSCRIPTION</code> adds a new subscription for the

+ A logical replication worker will be started to replicate data for the new

+ </p><div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist"><dt><span class="term"><code class="literal">copy_data</code> (<code class="type">boolean</code>)</span></dt><dd><p>

+ the publisher. The default is <code class="literal">true</code>.
+ </p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="literal">enabled</code> (<code class="type">boolean</code>)</span></dt><dd><p>
+ Specifies whether the subscription should be actively replicating,
+ or whether it should be just setup but not started yet. The default

+ </p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="literal">slot_name</code> (<code class="type">string</code>)</span></dt><dd><p>
+ Name of the replication slot to use. The default behavior is to
+ use the name of the subscription for the slot name.
+ </p><p>
+ When <code class="literal">slot_name</code> is set to
+ <code class="literal">NONE</code>, there will be no replication slot
+ associated with the subscription. This can be used if the
+ replication slot will be created later manually. Such
+ subscriptions must also have both <code class="literal">enabled</code> and
+ <code class="literal">create_slot</code> set to <code class="literal">false</code>.
+ </p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="literal">synchronous_commit</code> (<code class="type">enum</code>)</span></dt><dd><p>
+ The value of this parameter overrides the
+ <a class="xref" href="runtime-config-wal.html#GUC-SYNCHRONOUS-COMMIT">synchronous_commit</a> setting. The default
+ value is <code class="literal">off</code>.
+ </p><p>
+ It is safe to use <code class="literal">off</code> for logical replication:
+ If the subscriber loses transactions because of missing
+ synchronization, the data will be sent again from the publisher.
+ </p><p>
+ A different setting might be appropriate when doing synchronous
+ logical replication. The logical replication workers report the
+ positions of writes and flushes to the publisher, and when using
+ synchronous replication, the publisher will wait for the actual
+ flush. This means that setting
+ <code class="literal">synchronous_commit</code> for the subscriber to
+ <code class="literal">off</code> when the subscription is used for
+ synchronous replication might increase the latency for
+ <code class="command">COMMIT</code> on the publisher. In this scenario, it
+ can be advantageous to set <code class="literal">synchronous_commit</code>
+ to <code class="literal">local</code> or higher.
+ </p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="literal">connect</code> (<code class="type">boolean</code>)</span></dt><dd><p>
+ Specifies whether the <code class="command">CREATE SUBSCRIPTION</code>
+ should connect to the publisher at all. Setting this to
+ <code class="literal">false</code> will change default values of
+ <code class="literal">enabled</code>, <code class="literal">create_slot</code> and
+ <code class="literal">copy_data</code> to <code class="literal">false</code>.
+ </p><p>
+ It is not allowed to combine <code class="literal">connect</code> set to
+ <code class="literal">false</code> and <code class="literal">enabled</code>,
+ <code class="literal">create_slot</code>, or <code class="literal">copy_data</code>
+ set to <code class="literal">true</code>.
+ </p><p>
+ Since no connection is made when this option is set
+ to <code class="literal">false</code>, the tables are not subscribed, and so
+ after you enable the subscription nothing will be replicated.
+ It is required to run
+ <code class="literal">ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... REFRESH PUBLICATION</code> in order
+ for tables to be subscribed.

+ See <a class="xref" href="logical-replication-security.html" title="30.7. Security">Section 30.7</a> for details on
+ how to configure access control between the subscription and the
+ publication instance.
+ </p><p>
+ When creating a replication slot (the default behavior), <code class="command">CREATE
+ SUBSCRIPTION</code> cannot be executed inside a transaction block.
+ </p><p>
+ Creating a subscription that connects to the same database cluster (for
+ example, to replicate between databases in the same cluster or to replicate
+ within the same database) will only succeed if the replication slot is not
+ created as part of the same command. Otherwise, the <code class="command">CREATE
+ SUBSCRIPTION</code> call will hang. To make this work, create the
+ replication slot separately (using the
+ function <code class="function">pg_create_logical_replication_slot</code> with the
+ plugin name <code class="literal">pgoutput</code>) and create the subscription using
+ the parameter <code class="literal">create_slot = false</code>. This is an
+ implementation restriction that might be lifted in a future release.
