PostgreSQL – How to Move Sequence to a Different Schema

ByAdmin September 6, 2023September 6, 2023

To move a sequence to a different schema in PostgreSQL, you can use the ALTER SEQUENCE command. The basic syntax is as follows:

ALTER SEQUENCE current_schema.sequence_name SET SCHEMA new_schema;

where current_schema is the name of the schema where the sequence currently resides, sequence_name is the name of the sequence, and new_schema is the name of the schema where you want to move the sequence.For example, if you want to move a sequence named “my_sequence” from the “public” schema to a schema called “new_schema,” you would use the following SQL command:

ALTER SEQUENCE public.my_sequence SET SCHEMA new_schema;

Verify the Move:

After executing the command, you can verify that the sequence has been moved to the new schema by querying the information_schema.sequences view or by using the \d command in the PostgreSQL command line interface.

For example, you can use the following SQL query to check the schema of the sequence:

SELECT sequence_schema FROM information_schema.sequences WHERE sequence_name = 'my_sequence';

This query should return the name of the new schema where the sequence now resides.
