Things related to the underlying storage engine like system columns on
tables, for example xmin/xmax/ctid which might be different, but there are
also a bunch of unsupported features (
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aurora-dsql/latest/userguide/working-with-postgresql-compatibility-unsup...),
none of which pgAdmin knows are unsupported or in what way - e.g. are there
system catalogues that are missing, will DDL be accepted but do nothing or
will it throw errors, will some of the catalogues be missing individual
columns that may not be needed because certain features are unsupported?
The list is likely longer than that, but you get the gist.
