Hi, i am using postgreSQL 7.2.1 on a redhat 7.2 (kernel
2.4.9-31,glibc-2.2.4-24).

It seems that pg_dump -t "tablename" dumps correctly the sequence of a
table's column,when the column is named after "id".

For example,

dynacom=# CREATE TABLE foo2 (fid serial NOT NULL UNIQUE PRIMARY KEY,id
serial);

[postgres(at)pc216 ~]% pg_dump -t foo2 > foo2DUMP.sql

[postgres(at)pc216 ~]% cat foo2DUMP.sql

\connect - postgres

--

CREATE SEQUENCE "foo2_id_seq" start 1 increment 1 maxvalue
9223372036854775807 minvalue 1 cache 1;

-- TOC Entry ID 4 (OID 2009759)

CREATE TABLE "foo2" (
"fid" integer DEFAULT nextval('"foo2_fid_seq"'::text) NOT NULL,
"id" integer DEFAULT nextval('"foo2_id_seq"'::text) NOT NULL,
Constraint "foo2_pkey" Primary Key ("fid")
);

--
-- Data for TOC Entry ID 6 (OID 2009759)

COPY "foo2" FROM stdin;
\.
--
-- TOC Entry ID 5 (OID 2009762)
--
-- Name: "foo2_id_key" Type: INDEX Owner: postgres
--

CREATE UNIQUE INDEX foo2_id_key ON foo2 USING btree (id);

--
-- TOC Entry ID 3 (OID 2009757)
--
-- Name: foo2_id_seq Type: SEQUENCE SET Owner: postgres
--

SELECT setval ('"foo2_id_seq"', 1, false);
--

Any ideas??
