Hello everybody.

I've got an vb aplication that uses an Access database. I'm trying to convert the database to postgres. The conversion was done ok, but i've got a little problem that i don't know how to solve. Let's see if anyone can help me.

The conversion from access database to postgres worked fine. Everithing it's ok. But now, when i use my database i've found a problem with sequences. In the conversion, the "autonumeric" fields from access have been converted to sequences, everithing ok in a first view. The problem comes because the autonumeric fields in access always return the last value of the table +1, but postgres no. Postgres returns "lost" (i don't know how to call them) values. An example.

   This is an example of a table:

      code | description
      ----- | ------------
          1  | desc 1
          2  | desc 2
          6  | desc 6
          7  | desc 7


In access if i execute "INSERT INTO table (description) VALUES ('desc 8'), the result row is 8 | desc 8
   But in postgres the same query te result row is 3 | desc 8

My question is, can i do something to make ANY sequence to take the last value from his associated table, and not a "lost" value?

   Thank you very much
