This changes the display text of all integer columns with a dependency
to the respective serial type, e.g.
create table test(id integer primary key);
gets reverse engineered into:
CREATE TABLE public.test
(
id serial NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT test_pkey PRIMARY KEY (id)
)
I would strongly suggest that we only add "serial" and friends to the
list of available types for creating/adding a column. Once created, we
display the base type, with the default value clause etc.
pgAdmin 3 does what you're trying to do here, but the logic is very
complex, likely broken in some edge cases, and I don't think it really
adds much. See pgColumn::GetDefinition() in
https://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=pgadmin3.git;a=blob;f=pgadmin/schema/pgColumn.cpp
