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;

重新检查公共模式函数中的所有序列

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION public.recheck_sequence (
)
RETURNS void AS
$body$
DECLARE
  _table_name VARCHAR;
  _column_name VARCHAR;  
  _sequence_name VARCHAR;
BEGIN
  FOR _table_name IN SELECT tablename FROM pg_catalog.pg_tables WHERE schemaname = 'public' LOOP
    FOR _column_name IN SELECT column_name FROM information_schema.columns WHERE table_name = _table_name LOOP
        SELECT pg_get_serial_sequence(_table_name, _column_name) INTO _sequence_name;
        IF _sequence_name IS NOT NULL THEN 
            EXECUTE 'SELECT setval('''||_sequence_name||''', COALESCE((SELECT MAX('||quote_ident(_column_name)||')+1 FROM '||quote_ident(_table_name)||'), 1), FALSE);';
        END IF;
    END LOOP;   
  END LOOP;
END;
$body$
LANGUAGE 'plpgsql'
VOLATILE
CALLED ON NULL INPUT
SECURITY INVOKER
COST 100;

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;

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;';

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!
