Hi all. I have this issue: I need to load a value for an integer field (with auto increment) which I implemented with a serial type and to avoid inserts with that value in this field. The task is for a distributed program I'm creating and I wonder if there is an efficient solution for it. I thought about setting the current value of the sequence when loading the needed value..is it a solution? Is there something more efficient? Thanks very much! Any help is appreciated!
