Using pg_dump from postgresql 7.3.4 I've obtained
a dump file containing a SEQUENCE SET with no
corresponding SEQUENCE. I've seen that this is usually
due to the presence of a table with a 'serial' field,
but since in this case there is no such table I wonder
if this is a bug in pg_dump.

Perhaps. Is there any way you can send me the compressed pg_dump -s output of your database? Is it sensitive info? How certain are you that there is no serial column in your database?


The only reason I can imagine for this is pg_dump taking
any sequence whose name  ends in _seq as being associated
to a table, no matter if that table exists and has a 'serial'
field. Is this possible ? Shouldn't this kind of dependency
be coded somehow ?

It is coded somehow and pg_dump in no way treats things that end in _seq as being on tables.


My first suspicion is that you must be mistaken, but i would really like to see the full pg_dump -s output of your database....
