Hi,
While answering a question on "do triggers fire on a logical replication
subscriber by default?" I tried to look up a reference to this behavior
in the docs. There wasn't a clear reference point, but on the
architecture page[1], I found this line that was closest to the answer:
"The apply process on the subscriber database always runs with
session_replication_role set to replica, which produces the usual
effects on triggers and constraints."
which assumes that the reader knows what the "usual effects" are.
Attached is a patch that disambiguates this.
Two additional items:
1. I do think this should be backpatched because it clarifies an
existing behavior.
2. I don't know if we want to add a note about the trigger/rule behavior
elsewhere in the logical replication section. I don't know if a reader
would be expecting to find this in the "architecture" section.
Thanks,
Jonathan
