Hi,
is there a way to clear the session state of sequence values fetched by
currval(regclass)? "DISCARD ALL" doesn't seem to do it.

Might want to take a look at:

http://www.depesz.com/2012/12/02/what-is-the-point-of-bouncing/

for some hints on dealing with sequences and pgBouncer.


thanks, I read it (his blogs are always interesting!). I'm not disputing that calling currval() at the wrong time is a bad idea.
I'm just wondering why DISCARD ALL clears everything but this?
from the docs:
"DISCARD ALL resets a session to its original state, discarding temporary resources and resetting session-local configuration changes." .. but at the beginning of a session currval(foo) would return an error, whereas calling nexval(foo); DISCARD ALL; currval(foo); does not return an error.. clearly something isn't getting reset to the original state.

If you create a TEMP sequence, then DISCARD ALL does clear the state, probably because the underlying table disappears.
