Hi. I have a table with a serial field defined with an older version of postgresql (ver. 7). Back then max_value was 2147483647: select max_value from my_bid_seq ; max_value ------------ 2147483647 How can I increase it? By updating the max_value-field? This is an older thread and may have changed: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-admin/2002-12/msg00033.php I'm running postgresql 8.3.1. -- regards Claus When lenity and cruelty play for a kingdom, the gentler gamester is the soonest winner.
