Yes, but I found no way to use a variable like 'maxikatkey' in the ALTER SEQUENCE ...
it only excepts digits like 330722.

Sometimes, when the table has no rows for example, the SELECT MAX(...) FROM ...
returns <NULL>. I'm surprised about that even maxikatkey := maxikatkey +1; does
not set it to 1 'maxikatkey'. Should I worry about this in SELECT SETVAL(...) or can
I make it somehow to 1 or 0?
