That "be_pid/be_pid" hack in the regression test is pretty ugly, and
doesn't test anything very useful anyway seeing that it's integer
division. Could you do something likebe_pid = pg_backend_pid() AS is_self_notify
instead, to verify that it's a self-notify? (This is not quite right
because you'd need to execute pg_backend_pid() at the remote end, but
I'm not awake enough to remember the dblink syntax for that. Maybe
it's too complex to be worth it, but I think demonstrating how to
check for self-notify would be a useful bit of doco.)
Otherwise it looks ok to me.
