Hi, While testing a patch today, I tried to set up logical replication on the same cluster. Although I have done that many timesbefore, I made a mistake this time: I accidentally ran the CREATE SUBSCRIPTION command in the source database session,and the subscription was created successfully: ``` evantest=# CREATE SUBSCRIPTION mysub CONNECTION 'host=localhost dbname=evantest user=repl password=secret' PUBLICATION mypubWITH (create_slot = false); CREATE SUBSCRIPTION ``` After that, something weird started to happen. The destination table was empty, but the logs kept reporting duplicate-keyerrors. It took me a while to realize that the problem was this mistake. This made me wonder whether we should block this kind of loopback logical replication to the same database. I am not awareof a way to use different destination table names, so this setup does not seem useful. Blocking it could help preventthis kind of unnecessary mistake. Before working on a patch, I wanted to check with hackers first. If there are no objections, I can propose a patch. Pleaselet me know if I am missing something.
