Re: [HACKERS] ALTER SEQUENCE: Missing feature?

[Joshua D. Drake]

Sequences are tables in some very real senses. I don't see the value in duplicating code just to allow people to spell TABLE as SEQUENCE in these commands... I guess it comes down to a philosophical thing. Should people need to know the PostgreSQL internals like the fact that a SEQUENCE is currently implemented as a TABLE, or should they just be able to do reasonable things like call ALTER SEQUENCE when they alter a sequence? I would have to second this. From a user, user space programmer, dba perspective a SEQUENCE is a SEQUENCE not a table... thus operations such as ALTER that effect the SEQUENCE should use ALTER SEQUENCE. Sincerely, Joshua D.
