I have just imported 3636 rows into a PG database table (PG 8.1 on CentOS 5.2 ... the default).
The rows were imported using separate INSERT statements for each row. All OK so far.
After having had a few attempts at inserting new test rows (which all inserted OK), I notice that the last_value count
inthe sequence for this table is only 9. I was expecting something above 3636 of course. So now I'm getting duplicate
serialnumbers in my SERIAL id field.
It appears to be not possible to manually update the last_count value in the sequence table (currently 9, though the
tablecontains 3636+9 rows), so I'm wondering:
- what did I do wrong to arrive in this situation?
- how can I rectify the situation?
Thanks
Mick
