Actually it does which why you get the error, which by the way is the
same error depesz got in his demo:)
From your subsequent post:
CREATE SUBSCRIPTION ... WITH (enabled = false)
Did the above also have?:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/11/sql-createsubscription.html
copy_data = false
If not then you would copying over the data again and that would trigger
the duplicate key error.
