This seems to assume that I already know the name of the sequence?
Looking at the sequence names that's already in use, I cannot safely
assume anything about the format of their names. I start out knowing
only the table and column, and I need a string with the sequence name to
pass on to whatever wants it.
As for pg_describe_object,
SELECT pg_describe_object(classid,objid,objsubid) AS obj FROM pg_depend
WHERE obj LIKE 'default%';
leads to "ERROR: column "obj" does not exist" on 9.5.
Is the problem of restoring a database with sequences altered still a
problem in 9.3+?
