Consider the following (PgSQL 7.0.2):
CREATE SEQUENCE foo;
SELECT nextval('foo');
-- returns 1
BEGIN WORK;
SELECT nextval('foo');
-- returns 2
ABORT WORK;
SELECT nextval('foo');
-- returns 3
As you can see, even though the transaction has been aborted, the
sequence is still incremented. Is there any way to work around this?
Are there any plans to change this behavior in the future?
Just wondering, it's not a life or death matter.
Thanks in advance,
Neil
