-- ERROR: column "total" can only be updated to DEFAULT

-- Roughly equivalent:
CREATE TABLE t (id BIGSERIAL PRIMARY KEY);

-- =>
CREATE SEQUENCE t_id_seq;
CREATE TABLE t (id BIGINT PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT nextval('t_id_seq'));
ALTER SEQUENCE t_id_seq OWNED BY t.id;

CREATE TABLE t (
  id BIGINT GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY,
  name TEXT
);

-- GENERATED BY DEFAULT AS IDENTITY allows explicit overrides.
