select 'SELECT SETVAL(' || seq [ 1] || ', COALESCE(MAX('||column_name||')+1, 1) ) FROM '||table_name||';'
from (
       SELECT table_name, column_name, column_default, regexp_match(column_default, '''.*''') as seq

Pg_get_serial_sequence可以用来避免任何关于序列名称的错误假设。这将在一个镜头中重置序列:

SELECT pg_catalog.setval(pg_get_serial_sequence('table_name', 'id'), (SELECT MAX(id) FROM table_name)+1);

或者更简洁地说:

SELECT pg_catalog.setval(pg_get_serial_sequence('table_name', 'id'), MAX(id)) FROM table_name;

然而，这个表单不能正确地处理空表，因为max(id)是空的，你也不能设置val 0，因为它超出了序列的范围。一种解决方法是使用ALTER SEQUENCE语法。

ALTER SEQUENCE table_name_id_seq RESTART WITH 1;
ALTER SEQUENCE table_name_id_seq RESTART; -- 8.4 or higher

但是ALTER SEQUENCE的用途有限，因为序列名和重启值不能是表达式。

似乎最好的通用解决方案是调用setval，将false作为第三个参数，允许我们指定“下一个要使用的值”:

SELECT setval(pg_get_serial_sequence('t1', 'id'), coalesce(max(id),0) + 1, false) FROM t1;

这符合我所有的条件:

避免硬编码实际的序列名 正确处理空表 使用现有数据处理表，并且不会留下 序列中的漏洞

最后，请注意，pg_get_serial_sequence仅在序列属于列时才有效。如果将递增列定义为串行类型，则会出现这种情况，但是如果手动添加序列，则需要确保ALTER sequence。“OWNED BY”也被执行。

例如，如果使用serial type来创建表，这应该都可以工作:

CREATE TABLE t1 (
  id serial,
  name varchar(20)
);

SELECT pg_get_serial_sequence('t1', 'id'); -- returns 't1_id_seq'

-- reset the sequence, regardless whether table has rows or not:
SELECT setval(pg_get_serial_sequence('t1', 'id'), coalesce(max(id),0) + 1, false) FROM t1;

但如果手动添加序列:

CREATE TABLE t2 (
  id integer NOT NULL,
  name varchar(20)
);

CREATE SEQUENCE t2_custom_id_seq
    START WITH 1
    INCREMENT BY 1
    NO MINVALUE
    NO MAXVALUE
    CACHE 1;

ALTER TABLE t2 ALTER COLUMN id SET DEFAULT nextval('t2_custom_id_seq'::regclass);

ALTER SEQUENCE t2_custom_id_seq OWNED BY t2.id; -- required for pg_get_serial_sequence

SELECT pg_get_serial_sequence('t2', 'id'); -- returns 't2_custom_id_seq'

-- reset the sequence, regardless whether table has rows or not:
SELECT setval(pg_get_serial_sequence('t2', 'id'), coalesce(max(id),0) + 1, false) FROM t1;

ALTER SEQUENCE sequence_name RESTART WITH (SELECT max(id) FROM table_name); 是行不通的。

复制自@tardate答案:

SELECT setval(pg_get_serial_sequence('table_name', 'id'), MAX(id)) FROM table_name;

丑陋的黑客修复它使用一些贝壳魔法，不是一个伟大的解决方案，但可能会激励其他人有类似的问题:)

pg_dump -s <DATABASE> | grep 'CREATE TABLE' | awk '{print "SELECT setval(#" $3 "_id_seq#, (SELECT MAX(id) FROM " $3 "));"}' | sed "s/#/'/g" | psql <DATABASE> -f -

我的版本使用第一个，有一些错误检查…

BEGIN;
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION reset_sequence(_table_schema text, _tablename text, _columnname text, _sequence_name text)
RETURNS pg_catalog.void AS
$BODY$
DECLARE
BEGIN
 PERFORM 1
 FROM information_schema.sequences
 WHERE
  sequence_schema = _table_schema AND
  sequence_name = _sequence_name;
 IF FOUND THEN
  EXECUTE 'SELECT setval( ''' || _table_schema || '.' || _sequence_name  || ''', ' || '(SELECT MAX(' || _columnname || ') FROM ' || _table_schema || '.' || _tablename || ')' || '+1)';
 ELSE
  RAISE WARNING 'SEQUENCE NOT UPDATED ON %.%', _tablename, _columnname;
 END IF;
END; 
$BODY$
 LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';

SELECT reset_sequence(table_schema, table_name, column_name, table_name || '_' || column_name || '_seq')
FROM information_schema.columns
WHERE column_default LIKE 'nextval%';

DROP FUNCTION reset_sequence(_table_schema text, _tablename text, _columnname text, _sequence_name text) ;
COMMIT;

选择setval…使JDBC变得无聊，所以这里有一种与java兼容的方法:

-- work around JDBC 'A result was returned when none was expected.'
-- fix broken nextval due to poorly written 20140320100000_CreateAdminUserRoleTables.sql
DO 'BEGIN PERFORM setval(pg_get_serial_sequence(''admin_user_role_groups'', ''id''), 1 + COALESCE(MAX(id), 0), FALSE) FROM admin_user_role_groups; END;';
