Well, calling nextval on a sequence is a modify, so yes - it is subject 
to permissions.

It looks ok.

TBH that postgres setup could be a lot better, but it depends on which 
version of PG you're willing to mandate and a bit on taste (e.g. the use 
of "VARCHAR(x)" everywhere is a waste of time - "text" is no slower on 
postgres, and considerably less fragile when a field suddenly gets wider).

I would spend some time on it, were I not swamped with IP routing issues 
at the moment...
