Please don’t top-post.
Thx for replying David.According to https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/protocol-logicalrep- 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.message-formats.html
Correct. Maybe you want event triggers?
There are additional schema changes that are currently not covered, such as changes in default values.
Correct
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 ?
You could search the mailing list archives for recent discussions but given the general lack fo response to your email I’d say probably not. Decent odds if someone was they would have replied to your email.
