What is wrong? The INSERT statements don't update the sequence because they provide a value for the serial column (really an integer column), so the DEFAULT expression (a call to nextval()) isn't used. But somewhere in the dump should be a SELECT statement that calls setval() to update the sequence -- do you not see that? -- Michael Fuhr http://www.fuhr.org/~mfuhr/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
