1. How can we specify row filters for multiple tables for a
publication? Consider a case as below:
postgres=# CREATE TABLE tab_rowfilter_1 (a int primary key, b text);
CREATE TABLE
postgres=# CREATE TABLE tab_rowfilter_2 (c int primary key);
CREATE TABLE
postgres=# CREATE PUBLICATION tap_pub_1 FOR TABLE tab_rowfilter_1,
tab_rowfilter_2 WHERE (a > 1000 AND b <> 'filtered');
ERROR: column "a" does not exist
LINE 1: ...FOR TABLE tab_rowfilter_1, tab_rowfilter_2 WHERE (a > 1000 A...
^
postgres=# CREATE PUBLICATION tap_pub_1 FOR TABLE tab_rowfilter_1,
tab_rowfilter_2 WHERE (c > 1000);
CREATE PUBLICATION
It gives an error when I tried to specify the columns corresponding to
the first relation but is fine for columns for the second relation.
Then, I tried few more combinations like below but that didn't work.
CREATE PUBLICATION tap_pub_1 FOR TABLE tab_rowfilter_1 As t1,
tab_rowfilter_2 As t2 WHERE (t1.a > 1000 AND t1.b <> 'filtered');
Will users be allowed to specify join conditions among columns from
multiple tables?
2.

+

+ }
Is there a reason to deal with this here separately rather than in the
ALTER PUBLICATION grammar?
