Are you saying that ALTER SEQUENCE ... OWNER TO doesn't work? It
appears to work for everyone else.

​Sequences can have two owners - a role and, ​optionally, a table.column.

The name following "OWNED BY" is a table.column (NONE to clear).
The name following "OWNER TO" is a role (mandatory).

Re: Syntax for changing owner on sequence is not correct

I am just telling you that in your officiall documentation i didn't find that command. I founded oj stack owerflow and when i changed command I succesfully changed owner. Also one more hit: documentation will be much better with examples. I am DBA for a 7 years on ms sql and oracle and they have examples which can make life more easily if you are starting with some new tehnologies like postgres.

Kind regards,

​What command? Both OWNED BY and OWNER TO are parts of the ALTER SEQUENCE
command and written and described on the page you were reading when you
​filled out the form.

Note that our current release is 9.5 with 10.0 in beta. Our search results
have a tendency to show old versions (you were reading 8.4) so ensuring
that you are on current stuff helps.

I founded oj stack owerflow and when i changed command I succesfully

changed owner. Also one more hit: documentation will be much better with
examples. I am DBA for a 7 years on ms sql and oracle and they have
examples which can make life more easily if you are starting with some new
tehnologies like postgres.

​Personally I tend to find well written prose and syntax specifications to
be sufficient but I don't doubt that examples are helpful. For better and
worse this is a freely available open-source product. We don't have a
mandate that every feature have 6 examples documented for its use. The
volume of questions raised about ALTER SEQUENCE is so low that the
motivation to dream up and add new examples just isn't there. If a patch
was submitted, though, it would likely be committed.
