The query this added to dumpSequence() seems to think that sequence
names are unique across databases:

appendPQExpBuffer(query,
                  "SELECT seqstart, seqincrement, "
                  "CASE WHEN seqincrement > 0 AND seqmax = %s THEN NULL "
                  "     WHEN seqincrement < 0 AND seqmax = -1 THEN NULL "
                  "     ELSE seqmax "
                  "END AS seqmax, "
                  "CASE WHEN seqincrement > 0 AND seqmin = 1 THEN NULL "
                  "     WHEN seqincrement < 0 AND seqmin = %s THEN NULL "
                  "     ELSE seqmin "
                  "END AS seqmin, "
                  "seqcache, seqcycle "
                  "FROM pg_class c "
                  "JOIN pg_sequence s ON (s.seqrelid = c.oid) "
                  "WHERE relname = ",
                  bufx, bufm);
appendStringLiteralAH(query, tbinfo->dobj.name, fout);

Note that tbinfo->dobj.name contains just the name, and trying to match
based on just 'relname' isn't going to work since sequences with the
same name can exist in difference schemas.

I'd suggest using our usual approach in pg_dump, which is matching based
on the OID, like so:

WHERE c.oid = '%u'::oid

The OID is in: tbinfo->dobj.catId.oid

Also, you should move the selectSourceSchema() into the per-version
branches and set it to 'pg_catalog' for PG10 and up, which would allow
you to avoid having to qualify the table names, et al.  As is, this
query will also fail if a user has created a 'pg_class' or
'pg_sequence' table in their schema.

Thanks!

Stephen
