I just tested 7.2.8, 7.3.10, 7.4.8, 8.0.3, and 8.1devel, and pg_dump from all of them emitted a setval() to update the sequence. The line should resemble one of the following, depending on the version: SELECT setval ('"user_id_seq"', 7, true); SELECT pg_catalog.setval('user_id_seq', 7, true); SELECT pg_catalog.setval(pg_catalog.pg_get_serial_sequence('"user"', 'id'), 7, true); Did you do a visual search or did you use a command like "grep setval filename"? -- Michael Fuhr http://www.fuhr.org/~mfuhr/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
