Hmmm, the original problem I wanted to solve using this function is that
pg_dump is not bright enough to store sequences. I use a development
machine to build the database do a pg_dump and after this I try to
put this dump to the production (readonly) server. This procedure
every time requires manual setting of the sequences. I tried to avoid
this by the function. Any better way to do this?

Kind regards
