Subject: pgsql: Distinguish publication exclusions in object addresses.
Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2026 03:50:38 +0000
Message-ID: <E1x738w-000000003Nv-491B@gemulon.postgresql.org> (raw)

Distinguish publication exclusions in object addresses.

A pg_publication_rel entry can represent either an explicitly published
relation or a table excluded from a FOR ALL TABLES publication, but the
object address code treated every entry as a published relation without
checking prexcept. EXCEPT entries thus appeared as ordinary
published-table mappings in dependency messages, pg_identify_object(),
and pg_identify_object_as_address().

Report such entries as "publication excluded relation" instead, with
object identities indicating that the table is excluded from the
publication. pg_get_object_address() also accepts this new object type,
so that the output of pg_identify_object_as_address() can still be
passed back to it to look up the same object. "publication relation"
now resolves only non-EXCEPT entries, and "publication excluded
relation" only EXCEPT entries.

Oversight in commit fd366065e06.
