Hello,
Ran into this little gem with a customer today:
This works:
create table foo (foo int not null, bar text);
create sequence foo_seq;
alter table foo alter column foo set default nextval('foo_seq');
pg_dump will correctly dump the table:
CREATE TABLE foo (
foo integer DEFAULT nextval('foo_seq'::text) NOT NULL,
bar text
);
--
-- TOC entry 3 (OID 107565218)
-- Name: foo_seq; Type: SEQUENCE; Schema: public; Owner: postgres
--
CREATE SEQUENCE foo_seq
START 1
INCREMENT 1
MAXVALUE 9223372036854775807
MINVALUE 1
CACHE 1;
However if you do the following:
create table foo (foo serial not null, bar text);
create sequence foo_seq;
alter table foo alter column foo set default nextval('foo_seq');
pg_dump will give you the following:
CREATE TABLE foo (
foo serial NOT NULL,
bar text
);
--
-- TOC entry 3 (OID 107566148)
-- Name: foo_seq; Type: SEQUENCE; Schema: public; Owner: postgres
--
CREATE SEQUENCE foo_seq
START 1
INCREMENT 1
MAXVALUE 9223372036854775807
MINVALUE 1
CACHE 1;
Which is wrong because we want the column foo to use a default of foo_seq
not foo_foo_seq.
Sincerely,
Joshua D. Drake

TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your
joining column's datatypes do not match
