The list of all the queries

Potentially unused sequence generators

Query goal: Find sequence generators that are not associated with any column through the default value mechanism. Please note, that it is also possible to refer to a sequence generator from a routine or from an application. If these are indeed not used, then these should be dropped, otherwise these are dead code.
Notes about the query: The query takes into account both external and internal (are created as the result of declaring a column as the identity column) sequence generators. The query takes into account a possibility that a column may be associated with a sequence generator through a domain.
Query type: Problem detection (Each row in the result could represent a flaw in the design)
Query reliability: Medium (Medium number of false-positive results)
Query license: MIT License
Fixing suggestion: Start to use the sequence generator or drop it.
