Re: [GENERAL] Reset Sequence number
Firstly, anonymous procedures are not supported in PostgreSQL, you need to embed this block in a plpgsql function[1] body & call that function if you want reset sequence value manually, or you could use CYCLE option[2] of a sequence to auto reset. 1] https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/static/plpgsql-structure.html 2] https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/static/sql-createsequence.html Regards, Amul On Wed, Nov 22, 2017 at 3:06 PM, Brahmam Eswarwrote: > > we are in process of migrating to postgres and need to reset the sequence > number with highest value of table key .

[GENERAL] Reset Sequence number
we are in process of migrating to postgres and need to reset the sequence number with highest value of table key . I want to make it procedural to do that as mentioned below,But it's throwing an error . DO $$ DECLARE SEQ BIGINT; BEGIN SEQ:=(SELECT MAX(ID) FROM TABLE_1); ALTER SEQUENCE TABLE_1_SEQ RESTART WITH SEQ; END$$; Error : syntax error at or near "SEQ" -- Thanks & Regards, Brahmeswara Rao J.
