The info for the serial is stored in a seperate table which name should be
something like <table_name>_<column_name>_seq where table_name is the name of
the table and column_name the name of the serial you're using.
It should look something like

sequence_name | last_value | increment_by | ...
-------------------+------------+---------------+ ...
album_seq | 461 | 1 | ...

you would need to change the last_value column.

Jure
