Re: Auto generate number in Postgres-9.1.

Hi,

Thanks for your immediate response!!!!

Its working fine when we insert a new row.

But on deletion it's not automatically re-adjusting the id's.

Do I need to create trigger for this??

Sequences are stored as a separate object in PostgreSQL.

Here in this example table and you can see that rec_id is a sequence number and that the object name is: whiteboards_rec_id_seq

mydb=> \d whiteboards

Table "public.whiteboards"
Column | Type | Modifiers
---------------+-----------------------------+--------------------------
---------------+-----------------------------+--------------------------
---------------+-----------------------------+----------
rec_id | integer | not null default nextval('whiteboards_rec_id_seq'::regclass)
board_name | character varying(24) | not null
board_content | text | not null
updatets | timestamp without time zone | default now()
Indexes:
"whiteboards_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (rec_id)

Now I can display the whiteboards_rec_id_seq object

mydb=> \dS whiteboards_rec_id_seq
Sequence "public.whiteboards_rec_id_seq"
Column | Type | Value
---------------+---------+------------------------
sequence_name | name | whiteboards_rec_id_seq
last_value | bigint | 12
start_value | bigint | 1
increment_by | bigint | 1
max_value | bigint | 9223372036854775807
min_value | bigint | 1
cache_value | bigint | 1
log_cnt | bigint | 31
is_cycled | boolean | f
is_called | boolean | t

That's not how it works, normally. I'd suggest adding an ON TRUNCATE trigger to the table.
