Subject: doc: Remove incorrect note about wal_status in pg_replication_slots.
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4ef4b9ba77375221c597f590cde1a1adc10453ca;p=thirdparty%2Fpostgresql.git

doc: Remove incorrect note about wal_status in pg_replication_slots.

The documentation previously stated that the wal_status column is NULL
if restart_lsn is NULL in the pg_replication_slots view. This is incorrect,
and wal_status can be "lost" even when restart_lsn is NULL.

This commit removes the incorrect description.

Back-patched to all supported versions.
