Do you mean something like this:? test=# create table foo (t text); CREATE TABLE test=*# insert into foo values ('foo'); INSERT 0 1 test=*# insert into foo values ('bar'); INSERT 0 1 test=*# insert into foo values ('batz'); INSERT 0 1 test=*# select * from foo; t ------ foo bar batz (3 rows) test=*# create sequence foo_seq; CREATE SEQUENCE test=*# select nextval('foo_seq'), * from foo; nextval | t ---------+------ 1 | foo 2 | bar 3 | batz (3 rows) Of course, you can rename the first column using the 'as' - syntax.
