Sequences are documented on
http://www.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/7.1/reference/sql-createsequence.html
The numbers may not be unique if:
- there are already values in the column that conflict with numbers
(to be) generated by the sequence
- it was created with "cycle" and it cycles
- values are inserted into the column that have not been generated by
the sequence
- there is more than one sequence inserting values into the column
- there is a trigger that interferes
- ...
>Should I reload after adding unique to the sequence?
I'm not sure what you mean by that.
