  1. Fix documentation for the privileges required for replication functions.

  1. Patch: doc for pg_logical_emit_message()

    Matsumura, Ryo <matsumura.ryo@jp.fujitsu.com> — 2019-04-19T06:21:14Z

    Hi, Hackers

pg_logical_emit_message() can be used by any user,
but the following document says that it can be used by only superuser.

> Table 9.88. Replication SQL Functions
> Use of these functions is restricted to superusers.

I think that pg_logicl_emit_message() should be used by any user.
Therefore, I attach the document patch.

Thanks for the patch!

Use of not only pg_logical_emit_message() but also other replication
functions in Table 9.88 is not restricted to superuser. For example,
replication role can execute pg_create_physical_replication_slot().
So I think that the patch should fix also the description for those
replication functions. Thought?

Thanks for updating the patch!

+    Use of functions for replication origin is restricted to superusers.
+    Use of functions for replication slot is restricted to superusers
and replication roles.

"replication role" is a bit confusing. For example, we have
"replication role" related to session_replication_role. So
I think it's better to use something like "users having
<literal>REPLICATION</literal> privilege".

+    Only <function>pg_logical_emit_message</function> can be used by any users.

Not any user, I think. For example, what about a user not having
EXECUTE privilege on pg_logical_emit_message function?
I don't think that this description only for pg_logical_emit_message
is necessary.
