[BUGS] BUG #4357: SERIAL pseudotype and related SEQUENCE object
The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 4357 Logged by: Grigory Zinin Email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PostgreSQL version: 8.3.2 Operating system: win32 x86 Description:SERIAL pseudotype and related SEQUENCE object Details: It's possible that somebody already had found this thing, but I couldn't find any references to this in archives. We can create SERIAL field. But INTEGER type will be really set. It's well known that INTEGER field doesn't match values more than 4 bytes. But related SEQUENCE object has a 8 byte value. It looks strange for me that 4 bytes of these 8 byte value will never be used. Is it bug or feature? -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs

Well, it is that way by design, because most people will want the faster int4 type for their key fields. If you want a bigger type, you have of course bigserial available. -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
