When using PHP’s lastInsertId() method with PostgreSQL, it’s necessary to know the name of the sequence. If I defined the column using GENERATED BY DEFAULT AS IDENTITY, I know I can get the sequence name using something like pg_get_serial_sequence('whatever', 'id'). Is it possible to specify a sequence name in the CREATE TABLE statement?
