Hi, if anybody needs something like this here is the request to produce the code to resynch SEQUENCEs with the data in tha tables: SELECT 'SELECT SETVAL(\'' ||S.relname|| '\', MAX(' ||C.attname|| ') ) FROM ' ||T.relname|| ' ;' FROM pg_class AS S, pg_depend AS D, pg_class AS T, pg_attribute AS C WHERE S.relkind = 'S' AND S.oid = D.objid AND D.refobjid = T.oid AND D.refobjid = C.attrelid AND D.refobjsubid = C.attnum ORDER BY S.relname
This goes through all the sequences in current shema and generates SELECT SETVAL(... orders to set the SEQUENCE to the last value in the table. This only works it the SEQUENCE is OWNED (ALTER SEQUENCE ... OWNED BY ... since 8.2 or SERIAL) by a column: this way, the above SELECT will "find" the matching column and table for a SEQUENCE. Note : this will not work for SEQUENCES not linked to tables, you could find a way by working out the table name and column name from the sequence name (for instance by using a similar naming convention to the SERIAL sequences). Thanks for all the help I got.

Of course -- in the "internals" section. You need pg_class where relkind = 's', pg_depend, and possibly pg_attribute. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.PlanetPostgreSQL.org/ "La naturaleza, tan frágil, tan expuesta a la muerte... y tan viva" ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster _____________________________________________________________________________ Ne gardez plus qu'une seule adresse mail !
