Hi,
I've read several solutions to get the sequence name for a field defined as serial by create/alter table, but when I
define a default expression (e.g. like next_val('foo_seq') ) for an integer column pg_depend will not contain
information to describe this relation.
Is there a backward compatible method (back to 7.3 or 7.4) to get the sequence name for these fields? I know
pg_get_serial_sequence which works correctly only for serial fields and on versions 8.0+. It's a convenient and easy
way, but I also need this information on v7.3 servers and for non-serial columns.
I also can retrieve column_default from information_schema.columns view, but it contains an expression not a sequence
name.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Many thanks,
-- E.Cs.
