Simple example: test=# create table gap (id serial); NOTICE: CREATE TABLE will create implicit sequence "gap_id_seq" for serial column "gap.id" CREATE TABLE test=*# insert into gap values (default) test-# ; INSERT 0 1 test=*# commit; COMMIT test=# insert into gap values (default); INSERT 0 1 test=*# insert into gap values (default); INSERT 0 1 test=*# rollback; ROLLBACK test=# insert into gap values (default); INSERT 0 1 test=*# commit; COMMIT test=# select * from gap; id ---- 1 4 (2 rows) Andreas -- Andreas Kretschmer Kontakt: Heynitz: 035242/47150, D1: 0160/7141639 (mehr: -> Header) GnuPG-ID: 0x3FFF606C, privat 0x7F4584DA http://wwwkeys.de.pgp.net
