"optional" is a funny little flag i should change the name of, it essentially means "use this Sequence only if the database *requires* an explicit sequence to be created", which at the moment is only Oracle. so "optional" should really be called "only_if_required" or something like that.

I don't understand this default behaviour in postgres.py:

if column.primary_key and isinstance(column.type, types.Integer) and (column.default is None or (isinstance(column.default, schema.Sequence) and column.default.optional)):
 colspec += " SERIAL"

more specifically the "isinstance(column.default, schema.Sequence) and column.default.optional" part

shouldn't the SERIAL modifier be added when the default is *not* optional, or I got this wrong?
