+ A publication is essentially a group of tables whose data changes are
+ intended to be replicated through logical replication. See

+ Specifies a list of tables to add to the publication. If
+ <code class="literal">ONLY</code> is specified before the table name, only
+ that table is added to the publication. If <code class="literal">ONLY</code> is not
+ specified, the table and all its descendant tables (if any) are added.
+ Optionally, <code class="literal">*</code> can be specified after the table name to
+ explicitly indicate that descendant tables are included.
+ This does not apply to a partitioned table, however. The partitions of
+ a partitioned table are always implicitly considered part of the
+ publication, so they are never explicitly added to the publication.
+ </p><p>
+ If the optional <code class="literal">WHERE</code> clause is specified, it defines a
+ <em class="firstterm">row filter</em> expression. Rows for
+ which the <em class="replaceable"><code>expression</code></em>
+ evaluates to false or null will not be published. Note that parentheses
+ are required around the expression. It has no effect on
+ <code class="literal">TRUNCATE</code> commands.
+ </p><p>
+ When a column list is specified, only the named columns are replicated.
+ If no column list is specified, all columns of the table are replicated
+ through this publication, including any columns added later. It has no
+ effect on <code class="literal">TRUNCATE</code> commands. See

+ </p><p>
+ When a partitioned table is published via schema level publication, all
+ of its existing and future partitions are implicitly considered to be part of the

+ This clause specifies optional parameters for a publication. The
+ following parameters are supported:
+
+ </p><div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist"><dt><span class="term"><code class="literal">publish</code> (<code class="type">string</code>)</span></dt><dd><p>
+ This parameter determines which DML operations will be published by
+ the new publication to the subscribers. The value is
+ comma-separated list of operations. The allowed operations are
+ <code class="literal">insert</code>, <code class="literal">update</code>,
+ <code class="literal">delete</code>, and <code class="literal">truncate</code>.
+ The default is to publish all actions,
+ and so the default value for this option is
+ <code class="literal">'insert, update, delete, truncate'</code>.
+ </p><p>
+ This parameter only affects DML operations. In particular, the initial
+ data synchronization (see <a class="xref" href="logical-replication-architecture.html#LOGICAL-REPLICATION-SNAPSHOT" title="31.7.1. Initial Snapshot">Section 31.7.1</a>)
+ for logical replication does not take this parameter into account when
+ copying existing table data.
+ </p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="literal">publish_via_partition_root</code> (<code class="type">boolean</code>)</span></dt><dd><p>
+ This parameter determines whether changes in a partitioned table (or
+ on its partitions) contained in the publication will be published
+ using the identity and schema of the partitioned table rather than
+ that of the individual partitions that are actually changed; the
+ latter is the default. Enabling this allows the changes to be
+ replicated into a non-partitioned table or a partitioned table
+ consisting of a different set of partitions.
+ </p><p>
+ This parameter also affects how row filters and column lists are
+ chosen for partitions; see below for details.
+ </p><p>
+ If this is enabled, <code class="literal">TRUNCATE</code> operations performed
+ directly on partitions are not replicated.
+ </p></dd></dl></div></dd></dl></div></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.9.3.77.7"><h2>Notes</h2><p>
+ If <code class="literal">FOR TABLE</code>, <code class="literal">FOR ALL TABLES</code> or
+ <code class="literal">FOR TABLES IN SCHEMA</code> are not specified, then the
+ publication starts out with an empty set of tables. That is useful if
+ tables or schemas are to be added later.
+ </p><p>
+ The creation of a publication does not start replication. It only defines
+ a grouping and filtering logic for future subscribers.
+ </p><p>
+ To create a publication, the invoking user must have the
+ <code class="literal">CREATE</code> privilege for the current database.
+ (Of course, superusers bypass this check.)
+ </p><p>
+ To add a table to a publication, the invoking user must have ownership
+ rights on the table. The <code class="command">FOR ALL TABLES</code> and
+ <code class="command">FOR TABLES IN SCHEMA</code> clauses require the invoking
+ user to be a superuser.
+ </p><p>
+ The tables added to a publication that publishes <code class="command">UPDATE</code>
+ and/or <code class="command">DELETE</code> operations must have
+ <code class="literal">REPLICA IDENTITY</code> defined. Otherwise those operations will be
+ disallowed on those tables.
+ </p><p>
+ Any column list must include the <code class="literal">REPLICA IDENTITY</code> columns
+ in order for <code class="command">UPDATE</code> or <code class="command">DELETE</code>
+ operations to be published. There are no column list restrictions if the
+ publication publishes only <code class="command">INSERT</code> operations.
+ </p><p>
+ A row filter expression (i.e., the <code class="literal">WHERE</code> clause) must contain only
+ columns that are covered by the <code class="literal">REPLICA IDENTITY</code>, in
+ order for <code class="command">UPDATE</code> and <code class="command">DELETE</code> operations
+ to be published. For publication of <code class="command">INSERT</code> operations,
+ any column may be used in the <code class="literal">WHERE</code> expression. The
+ row filter allows simple expressions that don't have
+ user-defined functions, user-defined operators, user-defined types,
+ user-defined collations, non-immutable built-in functions, or references to
+ system columns.
+ </p><p>
+ The row filter on a table becomes redundant if
+ <code class="literal">FOR TABLES IN SCHEMA</code> is specified and the table
+ belongs to the referred schema.
+ </p><p>
+ For published partitioned tables, the row filter for each
+ partition is taken from the published partitioned table if the
+ publication parameter <code class="literal">publish_via_partition_root</code> is true,
+ or from the partition itself if it is false (the default).
+ See <a class="xref" href="logical-replication-row-filter.html" title="31.3. Row Filters">Section 31.3</a> for details about row
+ filters.
+ Similarly, for published partitioned tables, the column list for each
+ partition is taken from the published partitioned table if the
+ publication parameter <code class="literal">publish_via_partition_root</code> is true,
+ or from the partition itself if it is false.
+ </p><p>
+ For an <code class="command">INSERT ... ON CONFLICT</code> command, the publication will
+ publish the operation that results from the command. Depending
+ on the outcome, it may be published as either <code class="command">INSERT</code> or
+ <code class="command">UPDATE</code>, or it may not be published at all.
+ </p><p>
+ For a <code class="command">MERGE</code> command, the publication will publish an
+ <code class="command">INSERT</code>, <code class="command">UPDATE</code>, or <code class="command">DELETE</code>
+ for each row inserted, updated, or deleted.
+ </p><p>
+ <code class="command">ATTACH</code>ing a table into a partition tree whose root is
+ published using a publication with <code class="literal">publish_via_partition_root</code>
+ set to <code class="literal">true</code> does not result in the table's existing contents
+ being replicated.
+ </p><p>
+ <code class="command">COPY ... FROM</code> commands are published
+ as <code class="command">INSERT</code> operations.
+ </p><p>
+ <acronym class="acronym">DDL</acronym> operations are not published.
+ </p><p>
+ The <code class="literal">WHERE</code> clause expression is executed with the role used
+ for the replication connection.
