  1. Add a run_as_owner option to subscriptions.

  2. Refactor pgoutput_change().

  3. Print the correct aliases for DML target tables in ruleutils.

  4. Fix object identity string for transforms

  5. Add grantable MAINTAIN privilege and pg_maintain role.

  6. Get rid of recursion-marker values in enum AlterTableType

  7. Release cache tuple when no longer needed

  8. Empty search_path in logical replication apply worker and walsender.

  9. Refactor format_type APIs to be more modular

  10. Use wrappers of PG_DETOAST_DATUM_PACKED() more.

Thanks Ajin for the reply.

We "Create/Install" these trigger function at the time of "Create
publication", (CreatePublication())
but If I create a replication slot using something like "select * from
pg_create_logical_replication_slot('test1', 'test_decoding')"
we would not install these triggers in the system, so we dont get DDLs
decoded, right ?

I am a bit new to this postgres, is there anything missing in my understanding ?

thanks
