This is the query I used to generate the alter stmt for all the defaults
that used public sequences in the new schema

select 'alter table ' || relname || ' alter column ' || attname || ' set
default ' ||
replace(replace(replace(b.adsrc,'public.',''),'::text',''),'::regclass','')
|| ';'
from pg_attribute a
join pg_attrdef b on a.attrelid=b.adrelid and attnum=adnum
join pg_class c on c.oid=a.attrelid
where adsrc like '%nextval((''public.%'
and relnamespace=558726861
order by adsrc

My first database was an 8.0 and at some point we upgraded to 8.2 so
that must have caused the ?corruption?
