Protocol context

This section describes the detailed format of each logical replication message. These messages are either returned by the replication slot SQL interface or are sent by a walsender. In the case of a walsender, they are encapsulated inside replication protocol WAL messages as described in Section 54.4 , and generally obey the same message flow as physical replication. The following messages (Stream Start, Stream Stop, Stream Commit, and Stream Abort) are available since protocol version 2. The following messages (Begin Prepare, Prepare, Commit Prepared, Rollback Prepared, Stream Prepare) are available since protocol version 3. The following message parts are shared by the above messages.
