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;

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

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
$do$

此命令仅用于更改postgresql中自动生成的键序列值

ALTER SEQUENCE "your_sequence_name" RESTART WITH 0;

在零的地方，你可以放任何你想重新启动序列的数字。

默认序列名为“TableName_FieldName_seq”。例如，如果您的表名是“MyTable”，字段名是“MyID”，那么序列名将是“MyTable_MyID_seq”。

这个答案与@murugesanponappan的答案相同，但在他的解决方案中有一个语法错误。在alter命令中不能使用sub query (select max()…)所以要么你必须使用固定的数值，要么你需要使用变量来代替子查询。

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';

重新启动所有序列到1使用:

-- Create Function
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION "sy_restart_seq_to_1" (
    relname TEXT
)
RETURNS "pg_catalog"."void" AS
$BODY$

DECLARE

BEGIN
    EXECUTE 'ALTER SEQUENCE '||relname||' RESTART WITH 1;';
END;
$BODY$

LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';

-- Use Function
SELECT 
    relname
    ,sy_restart_seq_to_1(relname)
FROM pg_class
WHERE relkind = 'S';
