hello.
is it possible to rollback sequences in postgresql 8.1.1?
(tested om FC4 with official rpms).
it seems like a sequence is always moving forward and cannot be rolled
back. is this correct?
if it is correct, where in the docs do i find information about this
behavior?

testcase:
bash-2.05b$ createdb testseq
CREATE DATABASE
bash-2.05b$ psql -d testseq
