Reading the documentation:
- if you only grant SELECT on the table in question - no privileges are
needed for the linked sequence;
- for normal usage (selects, inserts, updates, deletes) - the USAGE
privilege seems quite handy;
- when you need to grant full access to a sequence (rare case) - both
SELECT and UPDATE;
- UPDATE, DELETE and REFERENCES privileges on the table(s) are not
related to the privileges of the corresponding sequence;
