Add support for managing physical replication slots to pg_receivexlog

Enterprise / PostgreSQL - Andres Freund [anarazel.de] - 6 October 2014 05:51 UTC

pg_receivexlog already has the capability to use a replication slot to reserve WAL on the upstream node. But the used slot currently has to be created via SQL.

To allow using slots directly, without involving SQL, add--create-slot and --drop-slot actions, analogous to the logical slot manipulation support in pg_recvlogical.
