pgmq-migration-0.5.0.0: migrations/0003-notify-crash-safety-and-locking.sql
-- Notification crash safety, reconcile locking, and partitioned re-entry.
--
-- Three deliberate divergences from upstream pgmq 1.11.0, all re-created with
-- their original signatures so this file is a drop-in replacement:
--
-- 1. pgmq.notify_queue_listeners() fails open when its throttle row is
-- missing. pgmq.notify_insert_throttle is UNLOGGED, so crash recovery
-- truncates it; the trigger's UPDATE then matched zero rows and the
-- updated_count > 0 gate suppressed PG_NOTIFY forever, silently starving
-- every listener until an application re-enabled notify. Losing the
-- throttle interval in a crash is acceptable; losing deliveries is not.
--
-- 2. pgmq.enable_notify_insert() takes the per-queue advisory lock and
-- coalesces a NULL throttle to the documented 250 ms. Without the lock,
-- two replicas reconciling the same queue at startup both pass the
-- internal DROP TRIGGER IF EXISTS, and the loser then fails with SQLSTATE
-- 42710 when it creates a trigger the winner just committed, taking down
-- that replica's whole reconcile. Without the COALESCE, a bound SQL NULL
-- raises 23502: a plpgsql parameter DEFAULT applies only to an omitted
-- argument, never to an explicit NULL.
--
-- 3. pgmq.create_partitioned() skips partman.create_parent when the table is
-- already registered in part_config. The advisory lock serializes
-- concurrent creators, but the second replica still calls create_parent on
-- a parent the first just registered — its CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS is a
-- no-op, while create_parent rejects an already-managed parent. Idempotence
-- is the missing property, not locking.
--
-- See docs/plans/14-make-insert-notifications-survive-crashes-and-document-the-channel-contract.md.
