I think that's inherently impossible without breaking the existing behavior of setval/nextval, which is something we will not accept. ALTER SEQUENCE would be better thought of as a form of setval with even more parameters, but not fundamentally different semantics. > Can I assume that > a standard simple_heap_update() is valid against the sequence, You can be certain that it is not. There can be only one tuple in a sequence table. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
