The issue is that t_table_1.gid isn't actually a SERIAL column...
it's an int that pulls a default value from the t_table_gid_seq
sequence. Note that that sequence is the one defined for t_table.
In this case for right now you're stuck hard-coding the sequence name
in, or referring to the parent table :(.
How I can get name of sequence used by gid column of partition
table? And why for t_table_1 pg_get_serial_sequence() returns NULL?
It returns NULL also if I create new sequence manually and use
ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN <column> SET DEFAULT nextval
(<my_new_sequence>::regclass).
In http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/datatype.html#DATATYPE-
SERIAL I can read that type SERIAL is equivalent to
CREATE SEQUENCE tablename_colname_seq;
CREATE TABLE tablename (
colname integer DEFAULT nextval('tablename_colname_seq') NOT NULL
);Thanks in advance
