以下範例示範如何使用 SQL 介面來控制邏輯解碼。

在使用邏輯解碼之前，您必須將 wal_level 設定為 logical，並將 max_replication_slots 設定為至少 1。然後，您應該以超級使用者身分連線到目標資料庫（在以下範例中為 postgres）。

postgres=# -- Create a slot named 'regression_slot' using the output plugin 'test_decoding'
postgres=# SELECT * FROM pg_create_logical_replication_slot('regression_slot', 'test_decoding', false, true);
    slot_name    |    lsn
-----------------+-----------
 regression_slot | 0/16B1970
(1 row)

postgres=# SELECT slot_name, plugin, slot_type, database, active, restart_lsn, confirmed_flush_lsn FROM pg_replication_slots;
    slot_name    |    plugin     | slot_type | database | active | restart_lsn | confirmed_flush_lsn
-----------------+---------------+-----------+----------+--------+-------------+-----------------
 regression_slot | test_decoding | logical   | postgres | f      | 0/16A4408   | 0/16A4440
(1 row)

postgres=# -- There are no changes to see yet
postgres=# SELECT * FROM pg_logical_slot_get_changes('regression_slot', NULL, NULL);
 lsn | xid | data
-----+-----+------
(0 rows)

postgres=# CREATE TABLE data(id serial primary key, data text);
CREATE TABLE

postgres=# -- DDL isn't replicated, so all you'll see is the transaction
postgres=# SELECT * FROM pg_logical_slot_get_changes('regression_slot', NULL, NULL);
    lsn    |  xid  |     data
-----------+-------+--------------
 0/BA2DA58 | 10297 | BEGIN 10297
 0/BA5A5A0 | 10297 | COMMIT 10297
(2 rows)

postgres=# -- Once changes are read, they're consumed and not emitted
postgres=# -- in a subsequent call:
postgres=# SELECT * FROM pg_logical_slot_get_changes('regression_slot', NULL, NULL);
 lsn | xid | data
-----+-----+------
(0 rows)

postgres=# BEGIN;
postgres=*# INSERT INTO data(data) VALUES('1');
postgres=*# INSERT INTO data(data) VALUES('2');
postgres=*# COMMIT;

postgres=# SELECT * FROM pg_logical_slot_get_changes('regression_slot', NULL, NULL);
    lsn    |  xid  |                          data

 0/BA5A8A8 | 10298 | COMMIT 10298
(4 rows)

postgres=# INSERT INTO data(data) VALUES('3');

postgres=# -- You can also peek ahead in the change stream without consuming changes
postgres=# SELECT * FROM pg_logical_slot_peek_changes('regression_slot', NULL, NULL);
    lsn    |  xid  |                          data

 0/BA5A990 | 10299 | COMMIT 10299
(3 rows)

postgres=# -- The next call to pg_logical_slot_peek_changes() returns the same changes again
postgres=# SELECT * FROM pg_logical_slot_peek_changes('regression_slot', NULL, NULL);
    lsn    |  xid  |                          data

 0/BA5A8E0 | 10299 | BEGIN 10299

postgres=# -- options can be passed to output plugin, to influence the formatting
postgres=# SELECT * FROM pg_logical_slot_peek_changes('regression_slot', NULL, NULL, 'include-timestamp', 'on');
    lsn    |  xid  |                          data

postgres=# -- Remember to destroy a slot you no longer need to stop it consuming

以下範例展示如何使用 PostgreSQL 發行版中包含的程式 pg_recvlogical，透過串流複製協定來控制邏輯解碼。這需要設定客戶端身份驗證，以允許複製連線（請參閱Section 26.2.5.1），並且要將 max_wal_senders 設定得足夠高，以允許額外的連線。第二個範例展示如何串流兩階段交易。在使用兩階段命令之前，您必須將 max_prepared_transactions 設定為至少 1。

Example 1:
$ pg_recvlogical -d postgres --slot=test --create-slot
$ pg_recvlogical -d postgres --slot=test --start -f -
Control+Z
$ psql -d postgres -c "INSERT INTO data(data) VALUES('4');"
$ fg
BEGIN 693
table public.data: INSERT: id[integer]:4 data[text]:'4'
COMMIT 693
Control+C
$ pg_recvlogical -d postgres --slot=test --drop-slot

Example 2:
$ pg_recvlogical -d postgres --slot=test --create-slot --two-phase
$ pg_recvlogical -d postgres --slot=test --start -f -
Control+Z
$ psql -d postgres -c "BEGIN;INSERT INTO data(data) VALUES('5');PREPARE TRANSACTION 'test';"
$ fg
BEGIN 694
table public.data: INSERT: id[integer]:5 data[text]:'5'
PREPARE TRANSACTION 'test', txid 694
Control+Z
$ psql -d postgres -c "COMMIT PREPARED 'test';"
$ fg
COMMIT PREPARED 'test', txid 694
Control+C
$ pg_recvlogical -d postgres --slot=test --drop-slot

以下範例展示可用於解碼預備交易的 SQL 介面。在使用兩階段提交命令之前，您必須將 max_prepared_transactions 設定為至少 1。您還必須在使用 pg_create_logical_replication_slot 建立 slot 時，將兩階段參數設定為 'true'。請注意，如果尚未解碼，我們將在提交後串流整個交易。

postgres=# BEGIN;
postgres=*# INSERT INTO data(data) VALUES('5');
postgres=*# PREPARE TRANSACTION 'test_prepared1';

postgres=# SELECT * FROM pg_logical_slot_get_changes('regression_slot', NULL, NULL);
    lsn    | xid |                          data
-----------+-----+---------------------------------------------------------
 0/1689DC0 | 529 | BEGIN 529
 0/1689DC0 | 529 | table public.data: INSERT: id[integer]:3 data[text]:'5'
 0/1689FC0 | 529 | PREPARE TRANSACTION 'test_prepared1', txid 529
(3 rows)

postgres=# COMMIT PREPARED 'test_prepared1';
postgres=# select * from pg_logical_slot_get_changes('regression_slot', NULL, NULL);
    lsn    | xid |                    data
-----------+-----+--------------------------------------------
 0/168A060 | 529 | COMMIT PREPARED 'test_prepared1', txid 529
(4 row)

postgres=#-- you can also rollback a prepared transaction
postgres=# BEGIN;
postgres=*# INSERT INTO data(data) VALUES('6');
postgres=*# PREPARE TRANSACTION 'test_prepared2';
postgres=# select * from pg_logical_slot_get_changes('regression_slot', NULL, NULL);
    lsn    | xid |                          data
-----------+-----+---------------------------------------------------------
 0/168A180 | 530 | BEGIN 530
 0/168A1E8 | 530 | table public.data: INSERT: id[integer]:4 data[text]:'6'
 0/168A430 | 530 | PREPARE TRANSACTION 'test_prepared2', txid 530
(3 rows)

postgres=# ROLLBACK PREPARED 'test_prepared2';
postgres=# select * from pg_logical_slot_get_changes('regression_slot', NULL, NULL);
    lsn    | xid |                     data
