There are two messages here that seem oddly worded.
msgid "start skipping logical replication transaction finished at %X/%X"
msgid "done skipping logical replication transaction finished at %X/%X"
Two complaints here. First, the phrases "start / finished" and "done /
finished" look very strange. It took me a while to realize that
"finished" refers to the LSN, not to the skipping operation. Do we ever
talk about a transaction "finished at XYZ" as opposed to a transaction
whose LSN is XYZ? (This became particularly strange when I realized
that the LSN might come from a PREPARE.)
Second, "logical replication transaction". Is it not a regular
transaction that we happen to be processing via logical replication?
I think they should say something like
"logical replication starts skipping transaction with LSN %X/%X"
"logical replication completed skipping transaction with LSN %X/%X"
Other ideas?
