The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:

Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/15/sql-altertable.html
Description:

Hi,

When the folloing SQL is executed:
ALTER TABLE "table" ALTER COLUMN "id" SET RESTART WITH nnn raises error
then an error is returned:
> ERROR: sequence option "restart" not supported here
According to the documention for Postgres 15 on ALTER TABLE, the provided
command seems to be correct. Omitting 'WITH' did not help.
A similar ALTER SEQUENCE table_id_seq RESTART WITH nnn works fine.
The involved Postgres version is: PostgreSQL 15.3, compiled by Visual C++
build 1914, 64-bit

I also found a very similar error in an old mail:
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/ed41b243-63b2-f287-e7b0-8b2ac7266d66%402ndquadrant.com

Please fix the documentation or the functionality.
