Thread: Sequenties in pgSQL 7.3.x
Hi
I am using postgresql 7.3.x. I am upgrating a database PostgreSQL.
The main problem is how to change field last value in sequencde which exists in database.
I created script to read this field and then I'm drop the table, do modification and i'm must change this value to another value.
But DBMS returns me message like that
ERROR: You can't change sequence relation seq_id_seq
How to do this

If so, you should use the setval() function instead. SELECT setval('my_seq', 1234); -- Richard Huxton Archonet Ltd
HI Thanks for help I'm found this solution and this works, but I'm use something like that PERFORM setval(seq_name, value); It looks better but thanks a lot ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Huxton" <dev@archonet.com> To: "Przemysław Słupkowski" <przemyslaw.slupkowski@euro.coig.pl>; "Lista dyskusyjna pgsql-sql" <pgsql-sql@postgresql.org> Sent: Thursday, September 25, 2003 9:55 AM Subject: Re: [SQL] Sequenties in pgSQL 7.3.x On Thursday 25 September 2003 07:36, Przemysław Słupkowski wrote: > Hi > I am using postgresql 7.3.x.
