## Summary
Postgres columns can be
- [generated as
identity](https://www.postgresqltutorial.com/postgresql-tutorial/postgresql-identity-column/)
- [generated by a custom
expression](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/ddl-generated-columns.html)
In these 2 cases, the column is not required when inserting a new row.
This PR makes sure these types of column are not marked required in n8n.
### How to test
1. Create a Postgres table with all types of generated columns:
for version >= 10
```sql
CREATE TABLE "public"."test_table" (
"id" int8 NOT NULL DEFAULT nextval('test_table_id_seq'::regclass),
"identity_id" bigint GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY,
"id_plus" numeric GENERATED ALWAYS AS (id + 5) STORED,
"title" varchar NOT NULL,
"created_at" timestamp DEFAULT now(),
PRIMARY KEY ("id")
)
```
Before 10 you have to use serial or bigserial types:
```sql
CREATE TABLE distributors (
did serial not null primary key,
name varchar(40) NOT NULL CHECK (name <> '')
);
```
2. Add a postgres node to canvas and try to insert data without the
generated columns
3. Should successfully insert
