The whole point of “logical” replication is that the
inserts/updates/deletes are reapplied on the secondary against the table
and the whatever triggers, indexes, or whatnot exist on that table in the
secondary behave just as if you connected to the server directly and issued
the corresponding SQL against it. As far as the replication system is
concerned none of those things on the primary matter nor does it have to
care about them on the secondary.
