You can use the following statement to find the sequences that a table uses:
select sn.nspname as sequence_schema, s.relname as sequence_name
from pg_class s
join pg_namespace sn on sn.oid = s.relnamespace
join pg_depend d on d.refobjid = s.oid and d.refclassid='pg_class'::regclass
join pg_attrdef ad on ad.oid = d.objid and d.classid = 'pg_attrdef'::regclass
join pg_attribute col on col.attrelid = ad.adrelid and col.attnum = ad.adnum
join pg_class tbl on tbl.oid = ad.adrelid
join pg_namespace n on n.oid = tbl.relnamespace
where s.relkind = 'S'
and d.deptype in ('a', 'n')
and n.nspname = 'public'
and tbl.relname = 'foo'
Of course you can do that for multiple tables as well:
and (n.nspname, t.relname) in ( ('public', 'foo'), ('public'), ('bar') )
I am not entirely sure if that is the "shortest way" to do it, but it works for me.
