Thank You for the patched Shlok. While testing I found a case where
table-sync and incremental-sync are not replicating same set of
tables.

I have attached the test-case and results in DifferentPubViaRoot.txt

The problem happens when we have a subscriber subscribing to multiple
pubs with different EXCEPT and different PUBLISH_VIA_PARTITION_ROOT
value. Example:

CREATE PUBLICATION pub1 for ALL TABLES EXCEPT table (tab_part_1_p1,
tab_part_2_p2) WITH (PUBLISH_VIA_PARTITION_ROOT=true);
CREATE PUBLICATION pub2 for ALL TABLES EXCEPT table (tab_part_2) WITH
(PUBLISH_VIA_PARTITION_ROOT=false);

We need to decide the behaviour of such a case for Apporach1. It will
be good to analyze row-filter and column-list behaviour for equivalent
cases i.e. publication publishing the same set of tables with
different row-filters and different PUBLISH_VIA_PARTITION_ROOT value.
Once we have clarity on that, we can decide about the behaviour here.

thanks
