Re: [GENERAL] Reset Sequence number - Mailing list pgsql-general

Firstly, anonymous procedures are not supported in PostgreSQL, you need to
embed this block in a plpgsql function[1] body & call that function if you want
reset sequence value manually, or you could use CYCLE option[2] of a
sequence to auto reset.
