试着重建索引。

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;

如果您在加载自定义SQL数据进行初始化时看到此错误，另一种避免此错误的方法是:

而不是写:

INSERT INTO book (id, name, price) VALUES (1 , 'Alchemist' , 10),

从初始数据中删除id(主键)

INSERT INTO book (name, price) VALUES ('Alchemist' , 10),

这使Postgres序列保持同步!

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;
