<para>
This parameter determines whether changes in a partitioned table (or
on its partitions) contained in the publication will be published
using the identity and schema of the partitioned table rather than
that of the individual partitions that are actually changed; the
latter is the default. Enabling this allows the changes to be
replicated into a non-partitioned table or a partitioned table
consisting of a different set of partitions.
</para>
<para>
There can be a case where a subscription combines multiple
publications. If a partitioned table is published by any
subscribed publications which set
<literal>publish_via_partition_root = true</literal>, changes on this
partitioned table (or on its partitions) will be published using
the identity and schema of this partitioned table rather than
that of the individual partitions.
</para>
<para>
This parameter also affects how row filters and column lists are
chosen for partitions; see below for details.
</para>
<para>
If this is enabled, <literal>TRUNCATE</literal> operations performed
directly on partitions are not replicated.

When specifying a parameter of type <type>boolean</type>, the

part can be omitted, which is equivalent to

<para>
If <literal>FOR TABLE</literal>, <literal>FOR ALL TABLES</literal> or
<literal>FOR TABLES IN SCHEMA</literal> are not specified, then the
publication starts out with an empty set of tables. That is useful if
tables or schemas are to be added later.
</para>
<para>
The creation of a publication does not start replication. It only defines
a grouping and filtering logic for future subscribers.
</para>
<para>
To create a publication, the invoking user must have the
<literal>CREATE</literal> privilege for the current database.
(Of course, superusers bypass this check.)
</para>
<para>
To add a table to a publication, the invoking user must have ownership
rights on the table. The <command>FOR ALL TABLES</command> and
<command>FOR TABLES IN SCHEMA</command> clauses require the invoking
user to be a superuser.
</para>
<para>
The tables added to a publication that publishes <command>UPDATE</command>
and/or <command>DELETE</command> operations must have
<literal>REPLICA IDENTITY</literal> defined. Otherwise those operations will be
disallowed on those tables.
</para>
<para>
Any column list must include the <literal>REPLICA IDENTITY</literal> columns
in order for <command>UPDATE</command> or <command>DELETE</command>
operations to be published. There are no column list restrictions if the
publication publishes only <command>INSERT</command> operations.
</para>
<para>
A row filter expression (i.e., the <literal>WHERE</literal> clause) must contain only
columns that are covered by the <literal>REPLICA IDENTITY</literal>, in
order for <command>UPDATE</command> and <command>DELETE</command> operations
to be published. For publication of
