在下例中，表名为users，模式名为public(默认模式)，请根据需要替换它。

1. 检查最大id:

SELECT MAX(id) FROM public.users;

2. 检查下一个值:

SELECT nextval('public."users_id_seq"');

3.如果下一个值小于最大id，重置它:

SELECT setval('public."users_id_seq"',
  (SELECT MAX(id) FROM public.users)
);

注意:

Nextval()将在返回当前值之前递增序列，而currval()将只返回当前值，如本文所述。

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';

ALTER SEQUENCE sequence_name RESTART WITH (SELECT max(id) FROM table_name); 是行不通的。

复制自@tardate答案:

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

把它们放在一起

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

将修复给定表的'id'序列(通常在django中是必要的)。

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;

这个答案是从毛罗那里抄来的。
