When PostgreSQL tables are configured with inheritance (INHERIT clause), data is streamed by Debezium from the table where the data resides (usually the child tables).
However, during the initial/incremental snapshot, Debezium selects all data from the parent tables, including child data, which pushes unexpected/duplicate data into the topics (all data from child tables).
Using a "SELECT ... FROM ONLY" retrieves only data from the current table and avoids retrieving data from child tables.
