重置所有公共序列

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

select sequence_name, reset_sequence(split_part(sequence_name, '_id_seq',1)) from information_schema.sequences
        where sequence_schema='public';

这个答案是从毛罗那里抄来的。

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
      DISTINCT(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 
      ORDER BY sequencename
   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 ||' minvalue '||c ||' start ' || c ||' restart  with ' || c;
   END LOOP;

   RETURN 1; END;
$body$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;

select rebuilt_sequences();

这将重置所有来自public的序列，不假设表或列名。在8.4版上测试

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION "reset_sequence" (tablename text, columnname text, sequence_name text) 
    RETURNS "pg_catalog"."void" AS 
    
    $body$  
      DECLARE 
      BEGIN 
    
      EXECUTE 'SELECT setval( ''' || sequence_name  || ''', ' || '(SELECT MAX(' || columnname || 
          ') FROM ' || tablename || ')' || '+1)';
    
      END;  
    
    $body$  LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';
    
    
SELECT table_name || '_' || column_name || '_seq', 
    reset_sequence(table_name, column_name, table_name || '_' || column_name || '_seq') 
FROM information_schema.columns where column_default like 'nextval%';

我找不到Rails的明确答案。

从rails控制台

ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute("SELECT setval(pg_get_serial_sequence('table_name', 'id'), MAX(id)) FROM table_name;")

例如将table_name替换为users。

SELECT setval('sequencename', COALESCE((SELECT MAX(id)+1 FROM tablename), 1), false);

我花了一个小时试图让djsnowsill的答案与数据库使用Mixed Case表和列一起工作，然后终于偶然发现了解决方案，感谢Manuel Darveau的评论，但我认为我可以让每个人都更清楚一点:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION "reset_sequence" (tablename text, columnname text)
RETURNS "pg_catalog"."void" AS
$body$
DECLARE
BEGIN
EXECUTE format('SELECT setval(pg_get_serial_sequence(''%1$I'', %2$L),
        (SELECT COALESCE(MAX(%2$I)+1,1) FROM %1$I), false)',tablename,columnname);
END;
$body$  LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';

SELECT format('%s_%s_seq',table_name,column_name), reset_sequence(table_name,column_name) 
FROM information_schema.columns WHERE column_default like 'nextval%';

这样做的好处是:

不假设ID列是特定的拼写方式。 不假设所有的表都有一个序列。 适用于混合大小写表/列名。 使用更简洁的格式。

解释一下，问题是pg_get_serial_sequence接受字符串来计算你引用的是什么，所以如果你这样做:

"TableName" --it thinks it's a table or column
'TableName' --it thinks it's a string, but makes it lower case
'"TableName"' --it works!

这是使用格式字符串中的“%1$I”实现的，“使撇号1$表示第一个参数，I表示在引号中
