Thread: nobody user can't nextval('phone_id_seq')

Hi,

Newbie needs help.  I have a small web-based phonebook app using php and
postgresql 7.02.  It seems the nobody (apache) user can delete, update,
add anything except increment the 'id' sequence.  I don't think it's the
code (cut and pasted from a tutorial) because the pgsql user can
increment it.
Any help appreciated.

You need to grant access to the sequence.

test=# \d foo                              Table "foo"Attribute |    Type     |                     Modifier
-----------+-------------+---------------------------------------------------key       | integer     | not null default
nextval('foo_key_seq'::text)name     | varchar(40) | not null
 

test=# GRANT ALL ON foo_key_seq TO nobody;
CHANGE
