Re: Inheritance problem when restoring db

Hi,

sorry for late response and lack of details. Postgresql version is 8.2.5 .

This is how to reproduce this issue:

inh_test=# CREATE TABLE cities (
inh_test(#     id serial,
inh_test(#     name            text,
inh_test(#     population      float,
inh_test(#     altitude        int     -- in feet
inh_test(# );
CREATE TABLE
inh_test=#
inh_test=# CREATE TABLE capitals (
inh_test(#   id serial,
inh_test(#     name            text,
inh_test(#     population      float,
inh_test(#     altitude        int ,    -- in feet
inh_test(# state           char(2)
inh_test(# ) ;
CREATE TABLE
inh_test=#
inh_test=# alter table capitals inherit cities;
ALTER TABLE
inh_test=# \d cities
                                Table "public.cities"
   Column   |       Type       |                      Modifiers

 id         | integer          | not null default
nextval('cities_id_seq'::regclass)
 name       | text             |
 population | double precision |
 altitude   | integer          |

inh_test=# \d capitals
                                Table "public.capitals"
   Column   |       Type       |                       Modifiers

Capitals loses its own sequence in the second case.
