I am the only developer, DBA etc.. for a small project. Today (yesterday was
everything was perfect) many of the sequence numbers fell behind what is the
actual PK value. For example the invoice PK sequence current value = 1056

edit/access the postgres server. So
1. Does anyone know how this could have happened?????? Other than human
interaction.
2. Does anyone have a script to reset the sequences to match the tables?
Thanks in advance,

John,
If the insert is performed to triggered table, and that trigger returns null (doesn't insert) then the sequence will increment, but no data will be inserted. If needed I will send you some code examples where it happened to me many times.
Sincerely
