Okay, I see the problem is here: ``` +CREATE UNIQUE INDEX test_replica_identity_partitioned_pkey ON test_replica_identity_partitioned (id); ``` I missed to add column “val” into the index, so that alter type of val didn’t cause index rebuild. Ideally, it’s better to also verify that index OIDs should have changed before and after alter column type, but I haven’t figured out how to do so. Do you have an idea? Please see v2, the test should fail on master now. Best regards, -- Chao Li (Evan) HighGo Software Co., Ltd. https://www.highgo.com/
