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;';

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。

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

原文(也修复了序列所有权)在这里

-- 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%';

select 'SELECT SETVAL(' || seq [ 1] || ', COALESCE(MAX('||column_name||')+1, 1) ) FROM '||table_name||';'
from (
       SELECT table_name, column_name, column_default, regexp_match(column_default, '''.*''') as seq
       from information_schema.columns
       where column_default ilike 'nextval%'
     ) as sequense_query
