Hi Shubham, here are my review comments for patch v19-0001.
======
src/backend/replication/pgoutput/pgoutput.c
1.
/*
* Columns included in the publication, or NULL if all columns are
* included implicitly. Note that the attnums in this bitmap are not
+ * publication and include_generated_columns option: other reasons should
+ * be checked at user side. Note that the attnums in this bitmap are not
* shifted by FirstLowInvalidHeapAttributeNumber.
*/
Bitmapset *columns;
You replied [1] "The attached Patches contain all the suggested
changes." but as I previously commented [2, #1], since there is no
change to the interpretation of the 'columns' BMS caused by this
patch, then I expected this comment would be unchanged (i.e. same as
HEAD code). But this fix was missed in v19-0001.
OTOH, if you do think there was a reason to change the comment then
the above is still not good because "are not publication and
include_generated_columns option" wording doesn't make sense.
======
src/test/subscription/t/011_generated.pl
Observation -- I added (in nitpicks diffs) some more comments for
'tab1' (to make all comments consistent with the new tests added). But
when I was doing that I observed that tab1 and tab3 test scenarios are
very similar. It seems only the subscription parameter is not
specified (so 'include_generated_cols' default wll be tested). IIRC
the default for that parameter is "false", so tab1 is not really
testing that properly -- e.g. I thought maybe to test the default
parameter it's better the subscriber-side 'b' should be not-generated?
But doing that would make 'tab1' the same as 'tab2'. Anyway, something
seems amiss -- it seems either something is not tested or is duplicate
tested. Please revisit what the tab1 test intention was and make sure
we are doing the right thing for it...

The attached nitpicks diff patch has some tweaked comments.
