Hi Euler,

While running some tests on v13 patches, I noticed that, in case the
published table data
already exists on the subscriber database before creating the subscription,
at the time of
CREATE subscription/table synchronization, an error as seen as follows

With the patch:

2021-03-29 14:32:56.265 IST [78467] STATEMENT:  CREATE_REPLICATION_SLOT

Without the patch:

2021-03-29 15:05:01.581 IST [79029] ERROR:  duplicate key value violates
unique constraint "pgbench_branches_pkey"
2021-03-29 15:05:01.581 IST [79029] DETAIL:  Key (bid)=(1) already exists.

Without the patch the COPY command throws an ERROR, but with the patch, a
similar scenario results in client connection being lost.

I didn't investigate it more, but looks like we should maintain the
existing behaviour when table synchronization fails
due to duplicate data.

Thank you,
