The documentation for CREATE/ALTER PUBLICATION previously showed:
[ ONLY ] table_name [ * ] [ ( column_name [, ... ] ) ] [ WHERE ( expression ) ] [, ... ]
to indicate that the table/column specification could be repeated.
However, placing [, ... ] directly after a multi-part construct was
misleading and made it unclear which portion was repeatable.
This commit introduces a new term, table_and_columns, to represent:
[ ONLY ] table_name [ * ] [ ( column_name [, ... ] ) ] [ WHERE ( expression ) ]
and updates the synopsis to use:
table_and_columns [, ... ]
which clearly identifies the repeatable element.
Backpatched to v15, where the misleading syntax was introduced.
