Re: Bug in ALTER TABLE/SEQUENCE OWNER TO

I am not sure it was reported to you but this has been corrected:

test=> CREATE TABLE test(id SERIAL NOT NULL);
NOTICE: CREATE TABLE will create implicit sequence "test_id_seq" for serial column "test.id"
CREATE TABLE
test=> ALTER TABLE TEST OWNER TO testuser;
ALTER TABLE
test=>
test=> SELECT typname, typowner, relname, relowner from pg_type c JOIN pg_class d
test-> ON (d.reltype = c.oid) WHERE typname = 'test';
typname | typowner | relname | relowner
---------+----------+---------+----------
test | 16385 | test | 16385
(1 row)

test=>
test=> SELECT typname, typowner, relname, relowner from pg_type c JOIN pg_class d
test-> ON (d.reltype = c.oid) WHERE typname = 'test_id_seq';
typname | typowner | relname | relowner
-------------+----------+-------------+----------
test_id_seq | 16385 | test_id_seq | 16385
(1 row)
