This is actually a desirable property, because it allows sequences to work fine in concurrent scenarios (which are, after all, the whole point of sequences). If you actually need an incremental number with no gaps (which is rare but not unseen), you need to use some other mechanism, which will probably involve a lock to prevent concurrency. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
