Please see the following case.
-- publisher
create table tbl (a int primary key, b int);
create publication pub for table tbl;
-- subscriber
create table tbl (a int primary key, b int, c int) partition by range (a);
create table child partition of tbl default;
-- publisher, make cache
insert into tbl values (1,1);
update tbl set a=a+1;
alter table tbl add column c int;
update tbl set c=1 where a=2;
-- subscriber
postgres=# select * from tbl;
a | b | c
---+---+---
2 | 1 |
(1 row)
The value of column c updated failed on subscriber.
And after applying the first patch, it would work fine.
I have added this case to the first patch. Also add a test case for the second
patch.
Attach the new patches.
