+1 , there are few similar cases - where user does not get error at
prompt , for instance
--when publication doesn't not exist
postgres=# create subscription sub connection 'dbname=postgres port=5000
user=centos password=a' publication nowhere;
NOTICE: synchronized table states
NOTICE: created replication slot "sub" on publisher
CREATE SUBSCRIPTION
--No check validation for Publication name in ALTER
postgres=# alter subscription sub set publication _ refresh;
ALTER SUBSCRIPTION
--slot name given in ALTER
postgres=# alter subscription sub with ( slot name='nowhere');
ALTER SUBSCRIPTION
--and due to that , we are not able to drop it later.
postgres=# drop subscription sub;
ERROR: could not drop the replication slot "nowhere" on publisher
DETAIL: The error was: ERROR: replication slot "nowhere" does not exist
postgres=#
