In response to STARTING SERIAL / BIGSERIAL FIELDS FROM 1.  (JORGE MALDONADO <jorgemal1960@gmail.com>)
List pgsql-novice
The info for the serial is stored in a seperate table which name should be
something like <table_name>_<column_name>_seq where table_name is the name of
the table and column_name the name of the serial you're using.
It should look something like

 sequence_name | last_value | increment_by | ...
-------------------+------------+---------------+ ...
    album_seq     |        461   |            1      | ...

you would need to change the last_value column.

Regards
Jure
