The sequence functions are documented here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/functions-sequence.html

setval is the function you want.  You can use a SELECT so you don't have to copy values around:

	select setval('t_pk_seq', (select max(pk) from t));

That form of setval() sets the sequence so that the next value will be one more than the value you set it to, so you don't have to do max()+1 there.
