You can list all the sequences:

select relname from pg_class where relkind='S';

and list all their atributes:

select * from sequence_name;

See "System Catalogs" in the documentation!

Way cool. Thanks.

BTW, I was wrong when I said that the 'A_id_seq' formula did not work
(it turns out that it failed due to a typo of mine).
