Re: BUG #18407: ALTER TABLE SET SCHEMA on foreign table with SERIAL column does not move sequence to new schema - Mailing list pgsql-bugs

Hmm ... that does seem fairly inconsistent.  It looks like the cause
is in AlterTableNamespaceInternal:

    /* Fix other dependent stuff */
    if (rel->rd_rel->relkind == RELKIND_RELATION ||
        rel->rd_rel->relkind == RELKIND_MATVIEW ||
        rel->rd_rel->relkind == RELKIND_PARTITIONED_TABLE)
    {
        AlterIndexNamespaces(classRel, rel, oldNspOid, nspOid, objsMoved);
        AlterSeqNamespaces(classRel, rel, oldNspOid, nspOid,
                           objsMoved, AccessExclusiveLock);
        AlterConstraintNamespaces(RelationGetRelid(rel), oldNspOid, nspOid,
                                  false, objsMoved);
    }

It's probably reasonable to have this relkind gating for 
AlterIndexNamespaces, although I'm not sure it saves much to
skip that, either.  But we can have sequences attached to
foreign tables, and I think maybe constraints as well.
Maybe it'd be best to just drop this relkind check altogether?
