Re: Detecting renamed columns via pgouput in logical replication ?

Thx for replying David.

According to
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/protocol-logicalrep-message-formats.html it
looks like certain schema information is embedded via pgoutput such as
column names and types. However, if a new column name appears and a
previous not, then it is currently not possible to differentiate if a
column was renamed VS if a new column was added and an old dropped.

There are additional schema changes that are currently not covered, such as
changes in default values.

Are there plans to add comprehensive schema change detection abilities via
logical replication ? either by embedding more information into pgoutput or
perhaps by embedding the schema DDLs ?

cheers
