RE: BUG #16481: Stored Procedure Triggered by Logical Replication isUnable to use Notification Events

Hi Kyotaro Horiguchi, thanks for you helps.
We have a question about the bug. Why there isn't any solution in the HEAD?

This bug last since 10.4 version and I can't understand why it is not fixed in the HEAD  yet.

BR.
Fabio Vianello.

Hello.

It seems to me a bug.

The HEAD behaves the same way.

The message is actually queued, but logical replication worker doesn't signal that to listener backends. If any
ordinarysession sent a message to the same listener after that, both messages would be shown at once.
 

That can be fixed by calling ProcessCompletedNotifies() in apply_handle_commit. The function has a code to write out
notificationsto connected clients but it doesn't nothing on logical replication workers.
