Re: Don'st start streaming after creating a slot in pg_receivexlog

It's useful to separate permissions for creating/dropping a slot from using it. A one-time act configures (or re-configures) how you wish the cluster to look, another more regular task is to connect to the slot and use it. But if you want to have a single user with privileges for both, you can create that. I don't see it as something that we need to support in the replication protocol, since that would require us to extend it every time we think of something else.

Creating a temporary slot goes against the whole concept of slots, so using the same id in the same script isn't actually needed, except maybe to simplify testing.
