> Advice? You should use pg_logical_slot_peek_changes or pg_logical_slot_get_changes to grab changes from a replication slot using psql. If you are looking at something at a lower level, have a look at pg_recvlogical as an example of logical change receiver. It is a good start point as well if your goal is to implement your own receiver.
