>From doc/postgres/sql-createsequence.htm:
"After a sequence is created, you may use the function nextval(seqname) to
get a new number from the sequence. The function
currval('seqname') may be used to determine the number returned by the last
call to nextval(seqname) for the specified sequence in the
current session."
Your error sounds like nextval has not been called yet in the current
session.
