7 <a class="xref" href="runtime-config-wal.html#GUC-WAL-LEVEL">wal_level</a> to <code class="literal">logical</code> and
8 <a class="xref" href="runtime-config-replication.html#GUC-MAX-REPLICATION-SLOTS">max_replication_slots</a> to at least 1. Then, you
9 should connect to the target database (in the example
10 below, <code class="literal">postgres</code>) as a superuser.

100 The following examples show how logical decoding is controlled over the
101 streaming replication protocol, using the
102 program <a class="xref" href="app-pgrecvlogical.html" title="pg_recvlogical"><span class="refentrytitle"><span class="application">pg_recvlogical</span></span></a> included in the PostgreSQL
103 distribution. This requires that client authentication is set up to allow
104 replication connections
105 (see <a class="xref" href="warm-standby.html#STREAMING-REPLICATION-AUTHENTICATION" title="26.2.5.1. Authentication">Section 26.2.5.1</a>) and
106 that <code class="varname">max_wal_senders</code> is set sufficiently high to allow
107 an additional connection. The second example shows how to stream two-phase
108 transactions. Before you use two-phase commands, you must set
109 <a class="xref" href="runtime-config-resource.html#GUC-MAX-PREPARED-TRANSACTIONS">max_prepared_transactions</a> to at least 1.

139 The following example shows SQL interface that can be used to decode prepared
140 transactions. Before you use two-phase commit commands, you must set
141 <code class="varname">max_prepared_transactions</code> to at least 1. You must also have
142 set the two-phase parameter as 'true' while creating the slot using
143 <code class="function">pg_create_logical_replication_slot</code>
144 Note that we will stream the entire transaction after the commit if it
145 is not already decoded.
