One of their functions does an insert into the table with
"nextval('xa_url_id_seq'::text)" as part of the INSERT itself, so they
aren't using that field as a SERIAL type ... just checked the CREATE TABLE
for teh table, and its defined as a "bigint NOT NULL" ... so we're not
dealing with a SERIAL field, as far as I can tell ... in fact, grep'ng
their whole schema, they don't use SERIAL fields at all ...
