From 8d2814f274def85f39fbe997d454b01628cb5667 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Magnus Hagander Date: Sun, 18 Mar 2018 13:08:25 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Fix pg_recvlogical for pre-10 versions In e170b8c8, protection against modified search_path was added. However, PostgreSQL versions prior to 10 does not accept SQL commands over a replication connection, so the protection would generate a syntax error. Since we cannot run SQL commands on it, we are also not vulnerable to the issue that e170b8c8 fixes, so we can just skip this command for older versions.
