Hi, here are a couple more minor review comments for the V19 patch.

(The 2nd one overlaps a bit with one that Greg previously gave).

//////

1. doc/src/sgml/ref/create_publication.sgml

+   columns. A <literal>NULL</literal> value causes the expression to evaluate
+   to false; avoid using columns without not-null constraints in the
+   <literal>WHERE</literal> clause. The <literal>WHERE</literal> clause does
+   not allow functions and user-defined operators.
+  </para>

=>

typo: "and user-defined operators." --> "or user-defined operators."

2. src/backend/commands/publicationcmds.c - OpenTableList IsA logic

IIUC the tables list can only consist of one kind of list element.

Since there is no expected/permitted "mixture" of kinds then there is
no need to check the IsA within the loop like v19 is doing; instead
you can check only the list head element. If you want to, then you
could Assert that every list element has a consistent kind as the
initial kind, but maybe that is overkill too?

PSA a small tmp patch to demonstrate what this comment is about.
