allow developers to create a generated
PrimaryGeneratedColumn
orColumn
of identityand choose between
ALWAYS
andBY DEFAULT
.Relevant documentation: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/sql-createtable.html
I am motivated to build on the work in (#7741) and provide both of the supported Postgres 10+ options; arguably using the
ALWAYS
option will be more widely adopted. Additionally expanding the capability to usingidentity
on anyColumn
, not just primary.Closes: #8370
Description of change
The underlying goal of the PR was to enable
PostgresQueryRunner.ts
to be able to decide which of the generated identity types to create.I wanted to add the minimal amount of code to support that.
PrimaryGeneratedColumnIdentityOptions
is needed to be able to pass information not encapsulated by the previously usedUUIDOptions
