+   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 <code class="literal">disable_on_error</code> 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.
