  4. 11.x core/modules/pgsql/src/Driver/Database/pgsql/Connection.php \Drupal\pgsql\Driver\Database\pgsql\Connection::makeSequenceName()

Creates the appropriate sequence name for a given table and serial field.

This information is exposed to all database drivers, although it is only useful on some of them. This method is table prefix-aware.

Note that if a sequence was generated automatically by the database, its name might not match the one returned by this function. Therefore, in those cases, it is generally advised to use a database-specific way of retrieving the name of an auto-created sequence. For example, PostgreSQL provides a dedicated function for this purpose: pg_get_serial_sequence().

Parameters

string $table: The table name to use for the sequence.

string $field: The field name to use for the sequence.

Return value

string A table prefix-parsed string for the sequence name.
