 Hi,

ALTER TABLE in postgresql.org/docs/devel/ says:

RESTRICT: Refuse to drop the column or constraint if there are any
dependent objects. This is the default behavior.

Could someone confirm whether 'dependent objects' also includes SEQUENCES? i.e.
if I create a sequence OWNED BY tbl.col1 and then try to drop the column
with RESTRICT, should it allow this DROP? Currently it does, but by reading
that line it seemed it shouldn't.

Thanks
