You could grovel around in pg_depend manually but I'm pretty sure of what the outcome will be. I'd try doing an ALTER SEQUENCE OWNED BY and see if that changes the results. The worst that could happen is it takes ownership away from whichever table actually created the sequence, if there was a different one. (My bet is that you got into this state as a result of using some weird combination of pg_dump and server versions.) regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
