      In the context of logical replication, a slot represents a stream of

+     A logical slot will emit each change just once in normal operation.

      Multiple independent slots may exist for a single database. Each slot has
      its own state, allowing different consumers to receive changes from
      different points in the database change stream. For most applications, a
