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';

克劳斯的答案是最有用的，除了有一点遗漏:你 必须在select语句中添加DISTINCT。

但是，如果您确定没有表+列名是等价的 对于两个不同的表，您还可以使用:

select sequence_name, --PG_CLASS.relname, PG_ATTRIBUTE.attname
       reset_sequence(split_part(sequence_name, '_id_seq',1))
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
where sequence_schema='public';

哪个是user457226的扩展方案适用的情况下 一些感兴趣的列名不是“ID”。

试着重建索引。

更新:正如评论中指出的，这是对最初问题的回答。

-- 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;

这里有一些非常硬核的答案，我假设它在被问到这个问题的时候是非常糟糕的，因为这里的很多答案在9.3版本中都不适用。8.0版本以后的文档提供了这个问题的答案:

SELECT setval('serial', max(id)) FROM distributors;

另外，如果你需要注意区分大小写的序列名，你可以这样做:

SELECT setval('"Serial"', max(id)) FROM distributors;

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%';
