Being late but I'm warried that we might sometime regret that the lack
of the explicit default. Don't we really need it?
+ Allows streaming or serializing changes immediately in logical decoding.
+ The allowed values of <varname>logical_decoding_mode</varname> are the
+ empty string and <literal>immediate</literal>. When set to
+ <literal>immediate</literal>, stream each change if
+ <literal>streaming</literal> option is enabled, otherwise, serialize
+ each change. When set to an empty string, which is the default,
+ decoding will stream or serialize changes when
+ <varname>logical_decoding_work_mem</varname> is reached.
With (really) fresh eyes, I took a bit long time to understand what
the "streaming" option is. Couldn't we augment the description by a
bit?
regards.
