Re: BUG #3619: Renaming sequence does not update its 'sequence_name' field

I created this bug report using the pagila db sample (
http://pgfoundry.org/projects/dbsamples/ ). Here is how the sequence and
table are created :
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CREATE SEQUENCE actor_actor_id_seq
START WITH 1
INCREMENT BY 1
NO MAXVALUE
NO MINVALUE
CACHE 1;

CREATE TABLE actor (
actor_id integer DEFAULT nextval('actor_actor_id_seq'::regclass) NOT
NULL,
first_name character varying(45) NOT NULL,
last_name character varying(45) NOT NULL,
last_update timestamp without time zone DEFAULT now() NOT NULL
);
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

But I made another full trivial test to show this bug from pg8.1 so
using ALTER TABLE request (I don't have access on a pg8.3 presently) :
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
postgres=# create DATABASE br3619;
CREATE DATABASE
postgres=# \c br3619
Vous êtes maintenant connecté à la base de données «br3619».
br3619=# CREATE SEQUENCE sample_seq_to_rename;
CREATE SEQUENCE
br3619=# select sequence_name from sample_seq_to_rename;
sequence_name
----------------------
sample_seq_to_rename
(1 ligne)

br3619=# ALTER TABLE sample_seq_to_rename RENAME TO sample_seq;
ALTER TABLE
br3619=# select sequence_name from sample_seq;
sequence_name
----------------------
sample_seq_to_rename
(1 ligne)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
