converter will do the work for you. Just write the sequence name enclosed

compatibility with the handling of ordinary

unless it contains double quotes around the sequence name. Thus:

with the column. The first input parameter is a table name with
optional schema, and the second parameter is a column name. Because
the first parameter is potentially a schema and table, it is not treated

while the second parameter, being just a column name, is treated as
double-quoted and has its case preserved. The function returns a value
