From 14413d0ef5df4df4cad36cfe657e3f9d1f94bc2f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Fujii Masao Date: Fri, 21 Mar 2025 12:56:39 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] doc: Remove incorrect description about dropping replication slots. pg_drop_replication_slot() can drop replication slots created on a different database than the one where it is executed. This behavior has been in place since PostgreSQL 9.4, when pg_drop_replication_slot() was introduced. However, commit ff539d mistakenly added the following incorrect description in the documentation: For logical slots, this must be called when connected to the same database the slot was created on. This commit removes that incorrect statement. A similar mistake was also present in the documentation for the DROP_REPLICATION_SLOT command, which has now been corrected as well. Back-patch to all supported versions.
