Hi!
I’ve used something like this to get unique Ids:
SELECT row_number() OVER (ORDER BY s.omrade_id, s.kod) AS id, …. ORDER BY 
s.omrade_id, s.kod;

If the ordering isn’t necessary I guess you can skip that.

Ämne: [Qgis-user] Unique IDs in a PostGIS view

I am trying to create a view that extracts vertices from lines using 
ST_DumpPoints and to get unique IDs I have set up a sequence to generate the 
numbers using nextval(). The query executes normally in the DB Mananger and I 
see the results as a table in the table view. However, when I attempt to load 
the results of the view as a layer in QGIS, I get an error: "Database error: 
ERROR:  cannot execute nextval() in a read-only transaction". No features are 
loaded.
Are there any smart tricks out there to work around this or other means of 
generating the IDs?
