how to configure access control between the subscription and the
publication instance.
</para>
<para>
Creating a subscription that connects to the same database cluster (for
example, to replicate between databases in the same cluster or to replicate
within the same database) will only succeed if the replication slot is not
created as part of the same command. Otherwise, the <command>CREATE
SUBSCRIPTION</command> call will hang. To make this work, create the
replication slot separately (using the
function <function>pg_create_logical_replication_slot</function> with the
plugin name <literal>pgoutput</literal>) and create the subscription using
the parameter <literal>create_slot = false</literal>. This is an
implementation restriction that might be lifted in a future release.
