Re: ALTER SEQUENCE: Missing feature?

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?

a<br/> SEQUENCE not a table... thus operations such as ALTER that effect the SEQUENCE should<br /> use ALTER
SEQUENCE.<br/><br /> Sincerely,<br /><br /> Joshua D. Drake<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><blockquote
