The pg_logicalinspect module provides SQL functions
that allow you to inspect the contents of logical decoding components. It
allows the inspection of serialized logical snapshots of a running
PostgreSQL database cluster, which is useful
for debugging or educational purposes.
By default, use of these functions is restricted to superusers and members of
the pg_read_server_files role. Access may be granted by
superusers to others using GRANT.
pg_get_logical_snapshot_meta(filename text) returns record
#
Gets logical snapshot metadata about a snapshot file that is located in
the server's pg_logical/snapshots directory.
The filename argument represents the snapshot
file name.
For example:
postgres=# SELECT * FROM pg_ls_logicalsnapdir();
-[ RECORD 1 ]+-----------------------
name | 0-40796E18.snap
size | 152
modification | 2024-08-14 16:36:32+00
postgres=# SELECT * FROM pg_get_logical_snapshot_meta('0-40796E18.snap');
-[ RECORD 1 ]--------
magic | 1369563137
checksum | 1028045905
version | 6
postgres=# SELECT ss.name, meta.* FROM pg_ls_logicalsnapdir() AS ss,
pg_get_logical_snapshot_meta(ss.name) AS meta;
-[ RECORD 1 ]-------------
name | 0-40796E18.snap
magic | 1369563137
checksum | 1028045905
version | 6
If filename does not match a snapshot file, the
function raises an error.
pg_get_logical_snapshot_info(filename text) returns record
#
Gets logical snapshot information about a snapshot file that is located in
the server's pg_logical/snapshots directory.
The filename argument represents the snapshot
file name.
For example:
postgres=# SELECT * FROM pg_ls_logicalsnapdir();
-[ RECORD 1 ]+-----------------------
name | 0-40796E18.snap
size | 152
modification | 2024-08-14 16:36:32+00
postgres=# SELECT * FROM pg_get_logical_snapshot_info('0-40796E18.snap');
-[ RECORD 1 ]------------+-----------

postgres=# SELECT ss.name, info.* FROM pg_ls_logicalsnapdir() AS ss,
pg_get_logical_snapshot_info(ss.name) AS info;

last_serialized_snapshot | 0/0
next_phase_at | 0
committed_count | 0
committed_xip |
catchange_count | 2
catchange_xip | {751,752}
If filename does not match a snapshot file, the
function raises an error.
