Replication: Skip external and Iceberg tables during refresh operation¶

Replication doesn’t currently support external tables or Iceberg tables. The behavior of a refresh operation for a primary database that contains an external table or Iceberg table is as follows:

Before the change:

If a primary database contains an external table or an Iceberg table, the refresh operation fails.

After the change:

If a primary database contains external tables or Iceberg tables, the external tables or Iceberg tables are skipped during the refresh operation and the refresh operation succeeds.
