Re: DROP SEQUENCE ?

The PostgreSQL doc referencing this situation is at
http://www.postgresql.org/devel-corner/docs/user/datatype.htm#AEN1181
but it doesn't explain what the syntax is nor does it give an example.
So if Employee has an attribute called ID that is of type SERIAL, and we do
a
"DROP TABLE EMPLOYEE"
what kind of call should we issue to drop the sequence?
DROP SEQUENCE ...??
