Right, I wasn't trying to capture everything, just enough to give the user a reasonable indication of what went wrong. My patch was designed around the idea that the user would need to figure out how to fix the subscriber side prior to re-enabling the subscription. As such, I wasn't bothered with trying to store everything, just enough to give the user a clue where to look. I don't mind if you want to store more information, and maybe that needs to be stored somewhere else. Do you believe pg_subscription_rel is a suitable location?
