还有另一个plpgsql -仅当max(att) >时重置lastval

do --check seq not in sync
$$
declare
 _r record;
 _i bigint;
 _m bigint;
begin
  for _r in (
    SELECT relname,nspname,d.refobjid::regclass, a.attname, refobjid
    FROM   pg_depend    d
    JOIN   pg_attribute a ON a.attrelid = d.refobjid AND a.attnum = d.refobjsubid
    JOIN pg_class r on r.oid = objid
    JOIN pg_namespace n on n.oid = relnamespace
    WHERE  d.refobjsubid > 0 and  relkind = 'S'
   ) loop
    execute format('select last_value from %I.%I',_r.nspname,_r.relname) into _i;
    execute format('select max(%I) from %s',_r.attname,_r.refobjid) into _m;
    if coalesce(_m,0) > _i then
      raise info '%',concat('changed: ',_r.nspname,'.',_r.relname,' from:',_i,' to:',_m);
      execute format('alter sequence %I.%I restart with %s',_r.nspname,_r.relname,_m+1);
    end if;
  end loop;

end;
$$
;

另外注释行——execute format('alter sequence将给出列表，而不是实际重置值

之前我还没有尝试过代码:在下面我张贴 Klaus和user457226解决方案的sql代码版本 它在我的电脑上运行(Postgres 8.3)，只做了一些小调整 克劳斯的版本和我的user457226版本。

克劳斯解决方案:

drop function IF EXISTS rebuilt_sequences() RESTRICT;
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION  rebuilt_sequences() RETURNS integer as
$body$
  DECLARE sequencedefs RECORD; c integer ;
  BEGIN
    FOR sequencedefs IN Select
      constraint_column_usage.table_name as tablename,
      constraint_column_usage.table_name as tablename, 
      constraint_column_usage.column_name as columnname,
      replace(replace(columns.column_default,'''::regclass)',''),'nextval(''','') as sequencename
      from information_schema.constraint_column_usage, information_schema.columns
      where constraint_column_usage.table_schema ='public' AND 
      columns.table_schema = 'public' AND columns.table_name=constraint_column_usage.table_name
      AND constraint_column_usage.column_name = columns.column_name
      AND columns.column_default is not null
   LOOP    
      EXECUTE 'select max('||sequencedefs.columnname||') from ' || sequencedefs.tablename INTO c;
      IF c is null THEN c = 0; END IF;
      IF c is not null THEN c = c+ 1; END IF;
      EXECUTE 'alter sequence ' || sequencedefs.sequencename ||' restart  with ' || c;
   END LOOP;

   RETURN 1; END;
$body$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;

select rebuilt_sequences();

User457226解决方案:

--drop function IF EXISTS reset_sequence (text,text) RESTRICT;
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION "reset_sequence" (tablename text,columnname text) RETURNS bigint --"pg_catalog"."void"
AS
$body$
  DECLARE seqname character varying;
          c integer;
  BEGIN
    select tablename || '_' || columnname || '_seq' into seqname;
    EXECUTE 'SELECT max("' || columnname || '") FROM "' || tablename || '"' into c;
    if c is null then c = 0; end if;
    c = c+1; --because of substitution of setval with "alter sequence"
    --EXECUTE 'SELECT setval( "' || seqname || '", ' || cast(c as character varying) || ', false)'; DOES NOT WORK!!!
    EXECUTE 'alter sequence ' || seqname ||' restart with ' || cast(c as character varying);
    RETURN nextval(seqname)-1;
  END;
$body$ LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';

select sequence_name, PG_CLASS.relname, PG_ATTRIBUTE.attname,
       reset_sequence(PG_CLASS.relname,PG_ATTRIBUTE.attname)
from PG_CLASS
join PG_ATTRIBUTE on PG_ATTRIBUTE.attrelid = PG_CLASS.oid
join information_schema.sequences
     on information_schema.sequences.sequence_name = PG_CLASS.relname || '_' || PG_ATTRIBUTE.attname || '_seq'
where sequence_schema='public';

把它们放在一起

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION "reset_sequence" (tablename text) 
RETURNS "pg_catalog"."void" AS
$body$
DECLARE
BEGIN
  EXECUTE 'SELECT setval( pg_get_serial_sequence(''' || tablename || ''', ''id''),
  (SELECT COALESCE(MAX(id)+1,1) FROM ' || tablename || '), false)';
END;
$body$  LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';

将修复给定表的'id'序列(通常在django中是必要的)。

-- Login to psql and run the following

-- What is the result?
SELECT MAX(id) FROM your_table;

-- Then run...
-- This should be higher than the last result.
SELECT nextval('your_table_id_seq');

-- If it's not higher... run this set the sequence last to your highest id. 
-- (wise to run a quick pg_dump first...)

BEGIN;
-- protect against concurrent inserts while you update the counter
LOCK TABLE your_table IN EXCLUSIVE MODE;
-- Update the sequence
SELECT setval('your_table_id_seq', COALESCE((SELECT MAX(id)+1 FROM your_table), 1), false);
COMMIT;

试着重建索引。
