I agree and will research this part.
And here is the new version patch set.
Most of changes are in the deparser which include:
support CREATE PARTITIONED TABLE
support ALTER ATTACH/DETACH PARTITION
support CREATE/ALTER TABLE with ACCESS METHOD
support CREATE TABLE OF
support CREATE/ALTER TABLE with GENERATED COLUMN
support CREATE/ALTER TABLE with DENTITY COLUMN
support CREATE/ALTER TABLE with COMPRESSION METHOD
support ALTER COLUMN numofcol SET STATISTICS (mentioned by sawada-san [1])
support ALTER SCHEMA
support CRAETE/DROP INDEX
Note that, for ATTACH/DETACH PARTITION, I haven't added extra logic on
subscriber to handle the case where the table on publisher is a PARTITIONED
TABLE while the target table on subscriber side is NORMAL table. We will
research this more and improve this later.
Besides, the new version event trigger won't WAL log the DDL whose target
table is a temporary table so that the problem reported by Vignesh[2] is
fixed.
About the recent comment from Amit[3] and Vignesh[4], I will investigate the
comments and address them in next version.
