Not really - if you don't use the sequence it keeps its value. If you look at pg_dump it issues an explicit setval() after a copy. I'm not sure you can even work around it with a BEFORE trigger to check and update the sequence, the nextval() call will probably be processed before the trigger gets called (haven't checked). In any case, performance would be a bit poor. Is there any reason why you're supplying your own id values when you already have a sequence? -- Richard Huxton Archonet Ltd >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> > Is there any reason why you're supplying your own id values when you already have a sequence? I'm importing a lot of data and tables (from mysql) and want to keep the ID's the same. CSN __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!
