Currently, FOR ALL SEQUENCES publication both explicitly created
sequences and implicitly created sequences will be synchronized during
the creation of subscriptions (using CREATE SUBSCRIPTION) and
refreshing publication sequences(using ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... REFRESH
PUBLICATION SEQUENCES).
Therefore, the explicitly created sequence seq1:
CREATE SEQUENCE seq1;
and the implicitly created sequence seq_test2_c2_seq for seq_test2 table:
CREATE TABLE seq_test2 (c1 int, c2 SERIAL);
will both be synchronized.
