Thanks. Do you think we should restrict this case too? To me, this
seems like another variation of the above where conflicting entries
are given at the time of sub-creation itself. The root is excluded but
parittion is included .

postgres=# create publication pub1 for table s2.tab_part_1, tables in
schema s2 except (table tab_root);
CREATE PUBLICATION
postgres=# \dRp+
Publication pub1
Owner | All tables | All sequences | Inserts | Updates | Deletes |
Truncates | Generated columns | Via root | Description
--------+------------+---------------+---------+---------+---------+-----------+-------------------+----------+-------------
shveta | f | f | t | t | t | t
| none | f |
Tables:
"s2.tab_part_1"
Tables from schemas:
"s2"
Except tables:
"s2.tab_root"

thanks
