Via some scripting, I now migrated all tables and indices, however I
found no way to migrate sequences.

The problem is that I cannot just move the tablespace itsself via
mv/symlink/fiddling_of_systables, because the tablespace contains some
other databases that are meant to remain there.

Thanks,
Markus
