Hi,

I reviewed the 0002 patch and have a suggestion for it.

+				if (IsSet(opts.specified_opts, SUBOPT_SYNCHRONOUS_COMMIT))
+				{
+					values[Anum_pg_subscription_subsynccommit - 1] =
+						CStringGetTextDatum("off");
+					replaces[Anum_pg_subscription_subsynccommit - 1] = true;
+				}

Currently, the patch set the default value out of parse_subscription_options(),
but I think It might be more standard to set the value in
parse_subscription_options(). Like:

			if (!is_reset)
			{
				...
+			}
+			else
+				opts->synchronous_commit = "off";

And then, we can set the value like:

					values[Anum_pg_subscription_subsynccommit - 1] =
						CStringGetTextDatum(opts.synchronous_commit);


Besides, instead of adding a switch case like the following:
+		case ALTER_SUBSCRIPTION_RESET_OPTIONS:
+			{

We can add a bool flag(isReset) in AlterSubscriptionStmt and check the flag
when invoking parse_subscription_options(). In this approach, the code can be
shorter.

Attach a diff file based on the v12-0002 which change the code like the above
suggestion.

Best regards,
Hou zj
