Presently, when this function is called for an unlogged sequence on a standby server, it will error out with a message like ERROR: could not open file "base/5/16388": No such file or directory Since the pg_sequences system view uses pg_sequence_last_value(), it can error similarly. To fix, modify the function to return NULL for unlogged sequences on standby servers. Since this bug is present on all versions since v15, this approach is preferable to making the ERROR nicer because we need to repair the pg_sequences view without modifying its definition on released versions. For consistency, this commit also modifies the function to return NULL for other sessions' temporary sequences. The pg_sequences view already appropriately filters out such sequences, so there's no bug there, but we might as well offer some defense in case someone invokes this function directly. Unlogged sequences were first introduced in v15, but temporary sequences are much older, so while the fix for unlogged sequences is only back-patched to v15, the temporary sequence portion is back-patched to all supported versions. We could also remove the privilege check in the pg_sequences view definition in v18 if we modify this function to return NULL for sequences for which the current user lacks privileges, but that is left as a future exercise for when v18 development begins.
