are used to create, drop, and stream changes from a replication
slot, respectively. These commands are only available over a replication
connection; they cannot be used via SQL.
See <a class="xref" href="protocol-replication.html" title="53.4. Streaming Replication Protocol">Section 53.4</a> for details on these commands.
</p><p>
The command <a class="xref" href="app-pgrecvlogical.html" title="pg_recvlogical"><span class="refentrytitle"><span class="application">pg_recvlogical</span></span></a> can be used to control
logical decoding over a streaming replication connection. (It uses
these commands internally.)
