The table was originally created this way:
CREATE TABLE transaction
(
transaction_id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
buyer_account_id INTEGER,
seller_account_id INTEGER,
date DATE,
item_id INTEGER,
source TEXT
);
However, when dumped with pg_dump 8.1, it comes out this way:
CREATE TABLE "transaction" (
transaction_id integer DEFAULT
nextval('transaction_transaction_id_seq'::regclass) NOT NULL,
buyer_account_id integer,
seller_account_id integer,
date date,
item_id integer,
source text
);
.. and the sequence does not get dumped with it.
