When source and target column names are different, you can specify an explicit column mapping in the configuration file, to ensure that Post applies row data to the correct target columns.
To use column mapping, you must map every column in a source table to a column in the target table, even if only some source and target names are different. When some columns are mapped but not others, the entry is considered to be a column partition for vertically partitioned replication, and data changes for non-listed columns are not replicated.
The following syntax creates a column map. For more information, see Configure data replication.
