how to get the name of the sequence that is responsible for setting the 
autoincrement value of a tables primary key column?

i only have the name of the table and need to have an appropiate sql 
statement.


i need this to write a program that loops through all tables of a 
database and then ajusts the start values of the sequencees in case the 
table has an automatic id value (serial/bigserial)


thanks,
Uwe
