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!

重置所有序列，除了每个表的主键是“id”外，对名称没有任何假设:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION "reset_sequence" (tablename text, columnname text)
RETURNS "pg_catalog"."void" AS
$body$
DECLARE
BEGIN
    EXECUTE 'SELECT setval( pg_get_serial_sequence(''' || tablename || ''', ''' || columnname || '''),
    (SELECT COALESCE(MAX(id)+1,1) FROM ' || tablename || '), false)';
END;
$body$  LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';

select table_name || '_' || column_name || '_seq', reset_sequence(table_name, column_name) from information_schema.columns where column_default like 'nextval%';

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%';

重置所有公共序列

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION "reset_sequence" (tablename text) RETURNS "pg_catalog"."void" AS 
$body$  
  DECLARE 
  BEGIN 
  EXECUTE 'SELECT setval( ''' 
  || tablename  
  || '_id_seq'', ' 
  || '(SELECT id + 1 FROM "' 
  || tablename  
  || '" ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 1), false)';  
  END;  
$body$  LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';

select sequence_name, reset_sequence(split_part(sequence_name, '_id_seq',1)) from information_schema.sequences
        where sequence_schema='public';

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;
