Tom Lane f52c5d6749 Forbid marking an identity column as nullable.
GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY implies NOT NULL, but the code failed
to complain if you overrode that with "GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY
NULL".  One might think the old behavior was a feature, but it was
inconsistent because the outcome varied depending on the order of
the clauses, so it seems to have been just an oversight.

Per bug #16913 from Pavel Boev.  Back-patch to v10 where identity
columns were introduced.

Vik Fearing (minor tweaks by me)

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download/

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
