Thread: Setting Next Value in Sequence

Maybe it's due to sleep deprivation, but this is not working. I'm trying to
update a seqence to a higher number, and it won't let me.

db_domain=> update seq_mailid set last_value=1375000;
ERROR:  You can't change sequence relation seq_mailid

My sense of humor has totally faded over the last two days, and I would
appreciate sone input.

So, may be just drop sequence and create new one with start 1375000.

Do you (or the user who is trying to do this) own the sequence? Do you have
the right access rights to it?

In any case, I always thought the best is to drop the sequence and create
it with a proper start number.

Hi,

You can't manipulate the sequence that way. You can do the following
though:

select setval('seq_mailid', 1375000);

Hope that helps.
