Changing ids conflicting with serial values?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When I change an id (primary key serial) in a table, the next value returned by the sequence for the id can conflict with that id (e.g., change the id to be id + 1). MySQL seems to handle this transparently by skipping conflicting values, but with PostgreSQL I get primary key conflicts. It seems rather bad if a user can modify an id in a row and cause failures for all future inserts - it's just too fragile. What's the proper way to handle this in PostgreSQL?
