Columns of a table are also matched by name. A different order of columns

in the target table is allowed, but the column types have to match. The

target table can have additional columns not provided by the published

table. Those will be filled with their default values.

Columns of a table are also matched by name. The order of columns in the

subscriber table does not need to match that of the publisher. The data

types of the columns do not need to match, as long as the text

representation of the data can be converted to the target type. For

example, you can replicate from a column of type <type>integer</type> to a

column of type <type>bigint</type>. The target table can also have

additional columns not provided by the published table. Any such columns

will be filled with the default value as specified in the definition of the

target table.
