Do these actually work?  I've always used 'default now()'...

If you want to avoid this, then create your sequences manually instead of
using 'serial'.

\echo '* datasources'

create sequence "datasources_id_seq"
start 1
increment 1
maxvalue 9223372036854775807
minvalue 1
cache 1;

comment on sequence "datasources_id_seq" is 'Datasources ID';

create table   "datasources" (     "id"      integer      not null unique default nextval
('datasources_id_seq'),     "name"      varchar(32)   not null unique,     "type_id"   varchar(16)   not null,
primarykey   ("id")     ); 

comment on table "datasources" is 'Datasource Definition';


This also gives you more flexibility since you can change the parameters of
the sequence (oftentimes I use start 0 minvalue 0, instead), and you can use
a name of your own choice.  The settings shown are the default when you use
'serial'.

> ERROR:  permission denied for schema pg_catalog

The user you create the user as needs to have createuser permission.

select * from "pg_catalog"."pg_user";

...will show you all that you need to know.

alter user "foo" with createuser;

...(run as an appropriate user) will grant the user such permission.

Vertu sæll,
