The following bug has been logged on the website:
Bug reference: 6683
Logged by: Philippe BEAUDOIN
Email address: phb.emaj@free.fr
PostgreSQL version: 9.1.4
Operating system: Linux
Description:=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20
When a table having a seial column has been created by a CREATE EXTENSION,
and when this table is later dropped from the extension, the associated
sequence must be also explicitely dropped from the extension.=20
Otherwise, after the table is detached from the extension, neither the table
can be dropped, nor the extension (except using CASCADE clauses).
This unattended behaviour could be considered as a design choice. In this
case, this should be clearly documentated.
Here is a test case to easily reproduce this issue.
Just copy/paste and adjust initial parameters.
