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!

我的版本使用第一个，有一些错误检查…

BEGIN;
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION reset_sequence(_table_schema text, _tablename text, _columnname text, _sequence_name text)
RETURNS pg_catalog.void AS
$BODY$
DECLARE
BEGIN
 PERFORM 1
 FROM information_schema.sequences
 WHERE
  sequence_schema = _table_schema AND
  sequence_name = _sequence_name;
 IF FOUND THEN
  EXECUTE 'SELECT setval( ''' || _table_schema || '.' || _sequence_name  || ''', ' || '(SELECT MAX(' || _columnname || ') FROM ' || _table_schema || '.' || _tablename || ')' || '+1)';
 ELSE
  RAISE WARNING 'SEQUENCE NOT UPDATED ON %.%', _tablename, _columnname;
 END IF;
END; 
$BODY$
 LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';

SELECT reset_sequence(table_schema, table_name, column_name, table_name || '_' || column_name || '_seq')
FROM information_schema.columns
WHERE column_default LIKE 'nextval%';

DROP FUNCTION reset_sequence(_table_schema text, _tablename text, _columnname text, _sequence_name text) ;
COMMIT;

我找不到Rails的明确答案。

从rails控制台

ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute("SELECT setval(pg_get_serial_sequence('table_name', 'id'), MAX(id)) FROM table_name;")

例如将table_name替换为users。

更新模式中用作ID的所有序列的方法:

DO $$ DECLARE
  r RECORD;
BEGIN
FOR r IN (SELECT tablename, pg_get_serial_sequence(tablename, 'id') as sequencename
          FROM pg_catalog.pg_tables
          WHERE schemaname='YOUR_SCHEMA'
          AND tablename IN (SELECT table_name 
                            FROM information_schema.columns 
                            WHERE table_name=tablename and column_name='id')
          order by tablename)
LOOP
EXECUTE
        'SELECT setval(''' || r.sequencename || ''', COALESCE(MAX(id), 1), MAX(id) IS NOT null)
         FROM ' || r.tablename || ';';
END LOOP;
END $$;

还有另一个plpgsql -仅当max(att) >时重置lastval

do --check seq not in sync
$$
declare
 _r record;
 _i bigint;
 _m bigint;
begin
  for _r in (
    SELECT relname,nspname,d.refobjid::regclass, a.attname, refobjid
    FROM   pg_depend    d
    JOIN   pg_attribute a ON a.attrelid = d.refobjid AND a.attnum = d.refobjsubid
    JOIN pg_class r on r.oid = objid
    JOIN pg_namespace n on n.oid = relnamespace
    WHERE  d.refobjsubid > 0 and  relkind = 'S'
   ) loop
    execute format('select last_value from %I.%I',_r.nspname,_r.relname) into _i;
    execute format('select max(%I) from %s',_r.attname,_r.refobjid) into _m;
    if coalesce(_m,0) > _i then
      raise info '%',concat('changed: ',_r.nspname,'.',_r.relname,' from:',_i,' to:',_m);
      execute format('alter sequence %I.%I restart with %s',_r.nspname,_r.relname,_m+1);
    end if;
  end loop;

end;
$$
;

另外注释行——execute format('alter sequence将给出列表，而不是实际重置值

Pg_get_serial_sequence可以用来避免任何关于序列名称的错误假设。这将在一个镜头中重置序列:

SELECT pg_catalog.setval(pg_get_serial_sequence('table_name', 'id'), (SELECT MAX(id) FROM table_name)+1);

或者更简洁地说:

SELECT pg_catalog.setval(pg_get_serial_sequence('table_name', 'id'), MAX(id)) FROM table_name;

然而，这个表单不能正确地处理空表，因为max(id)是空的，你也不能设置val 0，因为它超出了序列的范围。一种解决方法是使用ALTER SEQUENCE语法。

ALTER SEQUENCE table_name_id_seq RESTART WITH 1;
ALTER SEQUENCE table_name_id_seq RESTART; -- 8.4 or higher

但是ALTER SEQUENCE的用途有限，因为序列名和重启值不能是表达式。

似乎最好的通用解决方案是调用setval，将false作为第三个参数，允许我们指定“下一个要使用的值”:

SELECT setval(pg_get_serial_sequence('t1', 'id'), coalesce(max(id),0) + 1, false) FROM t1;

这符合我所有的条件:

避免硬编码实际的序列名 正确处理空表 使用现有数据处理表，并且不会留下 序列中的漏洞

最后，请注意，pg_get_serial_sequence仅在序列属于列时才有效。如果将递增列定义为串行类型，则会出现这种情况，但是如果手动添加序列，则需要确保ALTER sequence。“OWNED BY”也被执行。

例如，如果使用serial type来创建表，这应该都可以工作:

CREATE TABLE t1 (
  id serial,
  name varchar(20)
);

SELECT pg_get_serial_sequence('t1', 'id'); -- returns 't1_id_seq'

-- reset the sequence, regardless whether table has rows or not:
SELECT setval(pg_get_serial_sequence('t1', 'id'), coalesce(max(id),0) + 1, false) FROM t1;

但如果手动添加序列:

CREATE TABLE t2 (
  id integer NOT NULL,
  name varchar(20)
);

CREATE SEQUENCE t2_custom_id_seq
    START WITH 1
    INCREMENT BY 1
    NO MINVALUE
    NO MAXVALUE
    CACHE 1;

ALTER TABLE t2 ALTER COLUMN id SET DEFAULT nextval('t2_custom_id_seq'::regclass);

ALTER SEQUENCE t2_custom_id_seq OWNED BY t2.id; -- required for pg_get_serial_sequence

SELECT pg_get_serial_sequence('t2', 'id'); -- returns 't2_custom_id_seq'

-- reset the sequence, regardless whether table has rows or not:
SELECT setval(pg_get_serial_sequence('t2', 'id'), coalesce(max(id),0) + 1, false) FROM t1;
