这个问题发生在我使用实体框架创建数据库，然后用初始数据播种数据库时，这使得序列不匹配。

我通过创建一个脚本来解决这个问题，在播种数据库后运行:

DO
$do$
DECLARE tablename text;
BEGIN
    -- change the where statments to include or exclude whatever tables you need
    FOR tablename IN SELECT table_name FROM information_schema.tables WHERE table_schema='public' AND table_type='BASE TABLE' AND table_name != '__EFMigrationsHistory'
        LOOP
            EXECUTE format('SELECT setval(pg_get_serial_sequence(''"%s"'', ''Id''), (SELECT MAX("Id") + 1 from "%s"))', tablename, tablename);
    END LOOP;
END
$do$

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;';

我建议在postgres wiki上找到这个解决方案。它更新表的所有序列。

SELECT 'SELECT SETVAL(' ||
       quote_literal(quote_ident(PGT.schemaname) || '.' || quote_ident(S.relname)) ||
       ', COALESCE(MAX(' ||quote_ident(C.attname)|| '), 1) ) FROM ' ||
       quote_ident(PGT.schemaname)|| '.'||quote_ident(T.relname)|| ';'
FROM pg_class AS S,
     pg_depend AS D,
     pg_class AS T,
     pg_attribute AS C,
     pg_tables AS PGT
WHERE S.relkind = 'S'
    AND S.oid = D.objid
    AND D.refobjid = T.oid
    AND D.refobjid = C.attrelid
    AND D.refobjsubid = C.attnum
    AND T.relname = PGT.tablename
ORDER BY S.relname;

如何使用(来自postgres wiki):

保存到一个文件，输入'reset。sql' 运行该文件并以不包括通常头的方式保存其输出，然后运行该输出。例子:

例子:

psql -Atq -f reset.sql -o temp
psql -f temp
rm temp

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();
