sequences, moving from 8.0.4 to 8.1 ?
Hello,
I was reading release notes for 8.1 and there is something about changes concerning replacing ::text with ::regclass in default clauses. There is a query in Release notes, that should be executed to update dump from previos versions.
But, even without it, I see that all serial fileds in my database were updated authomatically during restore from dump ?! I restored only globals and schema from dumpall backup...
Could someone explain?
Thanks,
Zlatko

Even without running the script, your database should keep working.
Are you sure that the expressions are actually not using ::text
anymore? Normally they will keep the ::text, and only to change to the
new system should you use the script. Most people *do* want the new
behavior though, so run it :-).

Nicolas
