CREATE PUBLICATION — define a new publication
CREATE PUBLICATIONname[ FOR TABLE [ ONLY ]table_name[ * ] [, ...] | FOR ALL TABLES ] [ WITH (publication_parameter[=value] [, ... ] ) ]
   CREATE PUBLICATION adds a new publication
   into the current database.  The publication name must be distinct from
   the name of any existing publication in the current database.
  
A publication is essentially a group of tables whose data changes are intended to be replicated through logical replication. See Section 30.1 for details about how publications fit into the logical replication setup.
nameThe name of the new publication.
FOR TABLE
      Specifies a list of tables to add to the publication.  If
      ONLY is specified before the table name, only
      that table is added to the publication.  If ONLY is not
      specified, the table and all its descendant tables (if any) are added.
      Optionally, * can be specified after the table name to
      explicitly indicate that descendant tables are included.
     
Only persistent base tables can be part of a publication. Temporary tables, unlogged tables, foreign tables, materialized views, regular views, and partitioned tables cannot be part of a publication. To replicate a partitioned table, add the individual partitions to the publication.
FOR ALL TABLESMarks the publication as one that replicates changes for all tables in the database, including tables created in the future.
WITH ( publication_parameter [= value] [, ... ] )This clause specifies optional parameters for a publication. The following parameters are supported:
publish (string)
          This parameter determines which DML operations will be published by
          the new publication to the subscribers.  The value is
          comma-separated list of operations.  The allowed operations are
          insert, update,
          delete, and truncate.
          The default is to publish all actions,
          and so the default value for this option is
          'insert, update, delete, truncate'.
         
   If neither FOR TABLE nor FOR ALL
   TABLES is specified, then the publication starts out with an
   empty set of tables.  That is useful if tables are to be added later.
  
The creation of a publication does not start replication. It only defines a grouping and filtering logic for future subscribers.
   To create a publication, the invoking user must have the
   CREATE privilege for the current database.
   (Of course, superusers bypass this check.)
  
   To add a table to a publication, the invoking user must have ownership
   rights on the table.  The FOR ALL TABLES clause requires
   the invoking user to be a superuser.
  
   The tables added to a publication that publishes UPDATE
   and/or DELETE operations must have
   REPLICA IDENTITY defined.  Otherwise those operations will be
   disallowed on those tables.
  
   For an INSERT ... ON CONFLICT command, the publication will
   publish the operation that actually results from the command.  So depending
   of the outcome, it may be published as either INSERT or
   UPDATE, or it may not be published at all.
  
   COPY ... FROM commands are published
   as INSERT operations.
  
DDL operations are not published.
Create a publication that publishes all changes in two tables:
CREATE PUBLICATION mypublication FOR TABLE users, departments;
Create a publication that publishes all changes in all tables:
CREATE PUBLICATION alltables FOR ALL TABLES;
   Create a publication that only publishes INSERT
   operations in one table:
CREATE PUBLICATION insert_only FOR TABLE mydata
    WITH (publish = 'insert');
   CREATE PUBLICATION is a PostgreSQL
   extension.
