List all sequences in a Postgres db 8.1 with SQL

Question

I\'m converting a db from postgres to mysql.

Since i cannot find a tool that does the trick itself, i\'m going to convert all postgres sequences to autoincrement id

Answer 1

Get sequences by each column of each table via parsing of DEFAULT clause. This method provides info about to which column sequences are linked and does not use dependencies which may not exist for some sequences. Even pg_get_serial_sequence(sch.nspname||'.'||tbl.relname, col.attname) function found not all sequences for me!

Solution:

SELECT
    seq_sch.nspname  AS sequence_schema
  , seq.relname      AS sequence_name
  , seq_use."schema" AS used_in_schema
  , seq_use."table"  AS used_in_table
  , seq_use."column" AS used_in_column
FROM pg_class seq
  INNER JOIN pg_namespace seq_sch ON seq_sch.oid = seq.relnamespace
  LEFT JOIN (
              SELECT
                  sch.nspname AS "schema"
                , tbl.relname AS "table"
                , col.attname AS "column"
                , regexp_split_to_array(
                      TRIM(LEADING 'nextval(''' FROM
                           TRIM(TRAILING '''::regclass)' FROM
                                pg_get_expr(def.adbin, tbl.oid, TRUE)
                           )
                      )
                      , '\.'
                  )           AS column_sequence
              FROM pg_class tbl --the table
                INNER JOIN pg_namespace sch ON sch.oid = tbl.relnamespace
                --schema
                INNER JOIN pg_attribute col ON col.attrelid = tbl.oid
                --columns
                INNER JOIN pg_attrdef def ON (def.adrelid = tbl.oid AND def.adnum = col.attnum) --default values for columns
              WHERE tbl.relkind = 'r' --regular relations (tables) only
                    AND col.attnum > 0 --regular columns only
                    AND def.adsrc LIKE 'nextval(%)' --sequences only
            ) seq_use ON (seq_use.column_sequence [1] = seq_sch.nspname AND seq_use.column_sequence [2] = seq.relname)
WHERE seq.relkind = 'S' --sequences only
ORDER BY sequence_schema, sequence_name;

Note that 1 sequence can be used in multiple tables, so it can be listed in multiple rows here.
