postgresql sequence nextval in schema

Question

I have a sequence on postgresql 9.3 inside a schema.

I can do this:

SELECT last_value, increment_by from foo."SQ_ID";`

Answer 1

SELECT last_value, increment_by from "other_schema".id_seq;

for adding a seq to a column where the schema is not public try this.

nextval('"other_schema".id_seq'::regclass)

Answer 2

The quoting rules are painful. I think you want:

SELECT nextval('foo."SQ_ID"');

to prevent case-folding of SQ_ID.
