Deleting a table in PostgreSQL without deleting an associated sequence


Try this:

ALTER SEQUENCE foo_id_seq OWNED BY NONE

then you should be able to drop the table.

To retrieve the "owner" of a sequence use the following query

SELECT s.relname as sequence_name,         n.nspname as sequence_schema,         t.relname as related_table,        a.attname as related_column   FROM pg_class s, pg_depend d, pg_class t, pg_attribute a, pg_namespace n   WHERE s.relkind     = 'S'     AND n.oid         = s.relnamespace     AND d.objid       = s.oid     AND d.refobjid    = t.oid     AND (d.refobjid, d.refobjsubid) = (a.attrelid, a.attnum)
