Hi, I was checking the GRANT on pg_subscription and noticed that the command is not correct. There is a comment that says "All columns of pg_subscription except subconninfo are readable". However, there are columns that aren't included: oid and subsynccommit. It seems an oversight in the commits 6f236e1eb8c and 887227a1cc8. There are monitoring tools and data collectors that aren't using a superuser to read catalog information (I usually recommend using pg_monitor). Hence, you cannot join pg_subscription with relations such as pg_subscription_rel or pg_stat_subscription because column oid has no column-level privilege. I'm attaching a patch to fix it (indeed, 2 patches because of additional columns for v14). We should add instructions in the minor version release notes too. This issue was reported by Israel Barth. -- Euler Taveira EDB https://www.enterprisedb.com/
