Problem

When create() is called with all publish flags set to false (their default), the generated SQL is:

CREATE PUBLICATION my_pub FOR ALL TABLES
  WITH (publish = '');

PostgreSQL rejects WITH (publish = '') because the publish list must be non-empty. This causes a runtime database error.

Reported in: supabase/supabase#45020

Fix

Omit the WITH (publish = ...) clause entirely when no publish operations are specified. PostgreSQL then uses its default behavior: publish all operations (insert, update, delete, truncate).

// Before
const sql = `CREATE PUBLICATION ${ident(name)} ${tableClause}
  WITH (publish = '${publishOps.join(',')}');`

// After
const publishClause =
  publishOps.length > 0 ? \`WITH (publish = '\${publishOps.join(',')}')\` : ''
const sql = `CREATE PUBLICATION ${ident(name)} ${tableClause}
  ${publishClause};`

Test

Added a regression test: create with no publish operations uses PostgreSQL defaults that verifies:

1. No error is returned
2. All four publish flags default to true (PostgreSQL's default)
