The following bug has been logged on the website:
Bug reference: 6683
Logged by: Philippe BEAUDOIN
Email address: phb.e...@free.fr
PostgreSQL version: 9.1.4
Operating system: Linux
Description:
When a table having a seial column has been created by a CREATE EXTENSION,
and when this table is later dropped from the extension, the associated
sequence must be also explicitely dropped from the extension.
Otherwise, after the table is detached from the extension, neither the table
can be dropped, nor the extension (except using CASCADE clauses).
This unattended behaviour could be considered as a design choice. In this
case, this should be clearly documentated.
Here is a test case to easily reproduce this issue.
Just copy/paste and adjust initial parameters.
