This is an issue we need to discuss. How should this work?
The simplest solution would be to exclude generated columns from the replication stream altogether.
IMHO...
Virtual generated columns need not be WAL-logged, or sent.
Stored generated columns should be treated just like we'd treat a column value added by a trigger.
e.g. if we had a Timestamp column called LastUpdateTimestamp we would want to send that value
Similar considerations also apply to foreign tables. What is the meaning of a stored generated column on a foreign table?
