This looks mostly good to me. BTW, is it a good idea to add ".. in
publication "%s"" to the error message as this can happen even during
create publication? If so, I think we can change the nearby message as
below to include the same:
if (!pubviaroot &&
pri->relation->rd_rel->relkind == RELKIND_PARTITIONED_TABLE)
ereport(ERROR,
(errcode(ERRCODE_INVALID_PARAMETER_VALUE),
errmsg("cannot use publication column list for relation \"%s\"",
I think even if we don't include the publication name, there won't be
any confusion because there won't be multiple publications in the
command.
