Note that prior to 8.0 PostgreSQL does not support multiple ALTER actions in a
single query. To get an equivalent effect, wrap separate ALTER TABLE queries
in a transaction:
BEGIN;
alter table xyz alter column id set default nextval('xyz_seq');
alter table xyz alter column foo set default '';
COMMIT;
Also, are you sure you want '' as a column default, and not ALTER COLUMN foo
DROP DEFAULT?
