+ This section describes the logical replication protocol, which is the message
+ flow started by the <code class="literal">START_REPLICATION</code>
+ <code class="literal">SLOT</code> <em class="replaceable"><code>slot_name</code></em>
+ <code class="literal">LOGICAL</code> replication command.
+ </p><p>
+ The logical streaming replication protocol builds on the primitives of
+ the physical streaming replication protocol.

+ The logical replication <code class="literal">START_REPLICATION</code> command
+ accepts following parameters:
+
+ </p><div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist"><dt><span class="term">

+ Protocol version. Currently versions <code class="literal">1</code> and

+ is supported only for server version 14 and above, and it allows
+ streaming of large in-progress transactions.

+ The individual protocol messages are discussed in the following
+ subsections. Individual messages are described in
+ <a class="xref" href="protocol-logicalrep-message-formats.html" title="53.9. Logical Replication Message Formats">Section 53.9</a>.
+ </p><p>
+ All top-level protocol messages begin with a message type byte.
+ While represented in code as a character, this is a signed byte with no
+ associated encoding.
+ </p><p>
+ Since the streaming replication protocol supplies a message length there
+ is no need for top-level protocol messages to embed a length in their
+ header.
+ </p></div><div class="sect2" id="PROTOCOL-LOGICAL-MESSAGES-FLOW"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">53.5.3. Logical Replication Protocol Message Flow</h3></div></div></div><p>
+ With the exception of the <code class="literal">START_REPLICATION</code> command and
+ the replay progress messages, all information flows only from the backend
+ to the frontend.
+ </p><p>
+ The logical replication protocol sends individual transactions one by one.
+ This means that all messages between a pair of Begin and Commit messages
+ belong to the same transaction. It also sends changes of large in-progress
+ transactions between a pair of Stream Start and Stream Stop messages. The
+ last stream of such a transaction contains Stream Commit or Stream Abort
+ message.
+ </p><p>
+ Every sent transaction contains zero or more DML messages (Insert,
+ Update, Delete). In case of a cascaded setup it can also contain Origin
+ messages. The origin message indicates that the transaction originated on
+ different replication node. Since a replication node in the scope of logical
+ replication protocol can be pretty much anything, the only identifier
+ is the origin name. It's downstream's responsibility to handle this as
+ needed (if needed). The Origin message is always sent before any DML
+ messages in the transaction.
+ </p><p>
+ Every DML message contains a relation OID, identifying the publisher's
+ relation that was acted on. Before the first DML message for a given
+ relation OID, a Relation message will be sent, describing the schema of
+ that relation. Subsequently, a new Relation message will be sent if
+ the relation's definition has changed since the last Relation message
+ was sent for it. (The protocol assumes that the client is capable of
+ remembering this metadata for as many relations as needed.)
+ </p><p>
+ Relation messages identify column types by their OIDs. In the case
+ of a built-in type, it is assumed that the client can look up that
+ type OID locally, so no additional data is needed. For a non-built-in
+ type OID, a Type message will be sent before the Relation message,
+ to provide the type name associated with that OID. Thus, a client that
+ needs to specifically identify the types of relation columns should
+ cache the contents of Type messages, and first consult that cache to
+ see if the type OID is defined there. If not, look up the type OID
+ locally.
