Re: Script to reset all sequence values in the a given DB?

Did you want to set to a specific known value or the min value of the
sequence. I think Pavel's sets to the min value of the sequence.

The below sets all the sequences to the same value

CREATE AGGREGATE sum ( BASETYPE = text,
SFUNC = textcat,
STYPE = text,
INITCOND = '' );

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION cp_resetsequences(resetto integer)
RETURNS void AS
$BODY$
BEGIN
EXECUTE (SELECT SUM('ALTER SEQUENCE ' || sequence_schema || '.'
|| sequence_name || ' RESTART WITH ' || CAST(resetto As varchar(50)) ||
'; ' )
FROM information_schema.sequences);
END
$BODY$
LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' VOLATILE;

--Note this will set all the sequences in the database to 150
SELECT cp_resetsequences(150);

create or replace function resetall()
returns void as $$
declare
v varchar;
m integer;
begin
for v in
select n.nspname || '.' || c.relname
from pg_catalog.pg_class c
left join
pg_catalog.pg_namespace n
on n.oid = c.relnamespace
where c.relkind = 'S'
loop
execute 'select min_value from '||v into m;
setval(v, m, false);
end loop;
return;
end; $$ language plpgsql;
