You can certainly argue that it might be silly to have a local sequence generating the default value for insertions into a remote table; but on the other hand, it might not be silly, depending on usage scenario. I don't think the database should be enforcing a policy choice like that.
Presumably if it's not appropriate they won't define it as a serial column. If Postgres is the primary source of the data rather than the foreign handler then it makes plenty of sense to have a serial column, I should think.
So +1 for allowing it. cheers andrew -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
