I'm attempting to set the default value for a serial column. I created a generic function that I am passing a table name as the only parameter. I had it working correctly, however, it does not seem to like the sequence name being the same name for each audit table that is created through the function.So I changed the code to include the table name as part of the naming convention. Now, I need help on how to alter the serial column the new value
EXECUTE 'CREATE SEQUENCE '|| t_name ||'tab_id_seq'|| ' OWNED BY '|| t_name || '_cdc'||'.table_id';
EXECUTE 'ALTER TABLE ' || quote_ident(t_name || '_cdc') || ' ALTER COLUMN table_id SET DEFAULT nextval(''tab_id_seq'');';
Not tested but:
EXECUTE format('CREATE SEQUENCE %I OWNED BY %I.table_id',
t_name || 'tab_id_seq',
t_name || '_cdc');
EXECUTE format('ALTER TABLE %I ALTER COLUMN table_id SET DEFAULT nextval(%L);',
t_name || '_cdc',
t_name || 'tab_id_seq');
