CURRENT (v7-0002) During initial sync the data is replicated from publisher to subscriber using COPY command. But normally COPY of generated column is not supported. So instead, we can use the syntax 'COPY (SELECT column_name FROM table_name) TO STDOUT' for COPY. With this patch, if 'include_generated_columns' and 'copy_data' options are 'true' during 'CREATE SUBSCRIPTION', then the generated columns data is replicated from publisher to the subscriber during inital sync. While making column list for COPY command we donot include a column if it is a generated column on the subscriber side. And the data corresponding to that column will not be replicated instead, that column will be filled as normal with the subscriber-side computed or default data SUGGESTION When 'copy_data' is true, during the initial sync, the data is replicated from the publisher to the subscriber using the COPY command. The normal COPY command does not copy generated columns, so when 'include_generated_columns' is true, we need to copy using the syntax: 'COPY (SELECT column_name FROM table_name) TO STDOUT'. Note that we don't copy columns when the subscriber-side column is also generated. Those will be filled as normal with the subscriber-side computed or default data.
