Subject: [PATCH v5] Error-message-improvement
Currently, if logical replication attempts to target a subscriber-side table
column that is either missing or generated, it produces the following
identical error message:
ERROR: logical replication target relation \"%s.%s\" is missing
replicated columns: %s
While the error itself is valid, the message wording can be misleading for
generated columns. This patch introduces a distinct error message specifically
for the generated column scenario.
