Hi Amitabh,

I mean the serial sequence that controls the id value has been set to 1 for all 
tables. That's why I got the duplicate key value error when I tried to insert 
the new record to table.

So what does the sequence query show?

As an example in psql:

test=# create table serial_test(id serial PRIMARY KEY, fld_1 varchar);
CREATE TABLE

test=# \d serial_test
                              Table "public.serial_test"
Column | Type | Modifiers
--------+-------------------+----------------------------------------------------------
id | integer | not null default nextval('serial_test_id_seq'::regclass)
 fld_1  | character varying |
Indexes:
    "serial_test_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (id)

The above shows that the sequence associated with the serial type is:
'serial_test_id_seq'

The below shows how to select from that sequence:

test=# select * from serial_test_id_seq ;
-[ RECORD 1 ]-+--------------------
sequence_name | serial_test_id_seq
last_value    | 1
start_value   | 1
increment_by  | 1
max_value     | 9223372036854775807
min_value     | 1
cache_value   | 1
log_cnt       | 0
is_cycled     | f
is_called     | f


Can you do that on the serial column from one the affected tables and post the results here?



Thanks.

Regards,
Max

Hi Amitabh,



Thank you for suggestion. We did not reach the limit of serial type.
Some tables only have hundreds of rows.

It would helpful if you ran the query I showed in my previous post on one the 
sequences just so we can see.

 From subsequent post of yours:

"Sorry. I mean all tables’ id column were reset to 1."

I thought I understood on this, now I am not sure. Do you mean that the actual 
values in the id column in all the tables have been set to 1 or that the serial 
sequence that controls the id value has been set to 1?




Regards,

Max
