Re: ALTER TABLE RENAME column

Right, but I think jim means automatical renames of sequences, and especially something like this:
db=# CREATE TABLE foo (bar serial);
NOTICE: CREATE TABLE will create implicit sequence "foo_bar_seq" for serial column "foo.bar"
CREATE TABLE
db=# ALTER TABLE foo rename bar to baf;
ALTER TABLE
db=# \d foo
Table "public.foo"
Column | Type | Modifiers
--------+---------+---------------------------------------------------
baf | integer | not null default nextval('foo_bar_seq'::regclass)

The sequence still is named "foo_bar_seq".

IMO this should do:
Alter sequence foo_bar_seq rename to foo_baf_seq;
Alter table foo alter baf set default nextval('foo_baf_seq')

To rename a sequence or a table:

ALTER TABLE yo_table RENAME TO yo_new_table; ALTER TABLE yo_sequence RENAME TO yo_new_sequence;

Or am I mistaken?
