From e7f7950f6741a799bdf1dc3d2dbcb85e1b0a3c8c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Lane Date: Fri, 12 Mar 2021 11:08:42 -0500 Subject: Forbid marking an identity column as nullable. GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY implies NOT NULL, but the code failed to complain if you overrode that with "GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY NULL". One might think the old behavior was a feature, but it was inconsistent because the outcome varied depending on the order of the clauses, so it seems to have been just an oversight. Per bug #16913 from Pavel Boev. Back-patch to v10 where identity columns were introduced.
