Drop table doesn't drop serial sequences.

PostgreSQL Bugs List <pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org> — 2000-10-13T10:44:49Z

Antonio Garca (agarcia@at4.net) reports a bug with a severity of 2
The lower the number the more severe it is.

Short Description
Drop table doesn't drop serial sequences.

Long Description
The SERIAL special type automatically creates a sequence for
the field when you create a table. The sequence isn't automatically dropped when you drop the table, so a new create table fails because the sequence already exists.



Sample Code
create table foo (
id serial
);
drop table foo;
create table foo (
id serial
);
