Re: copy table

For your primary key column, does the SQL in your table creation script look like:

column_name integer NOT NULL DEFAULT nextval('rd."table_name_columname_seq"'::regclass)

or

column_name serial

If the former, and if your original sequence wasn't anything custom, try changing it to "column_name serial" (or bigserial, depending on your needs).

Subject: [ADMIN] copy table

I created a new database and I want to copy a table from a different database into the new database.
1. I used phpPgAdmin and exported the table that I want a copy of.
2. In the new database I pasted the export into the SQL box in phpPgAdmin and clicked execute to create the table.
The table was created with no errors
The only problem is it did not create the sequence for the primary key.

Do I have to manually create the sequence or did I miss a step in exporting and creating the table?

Thanks

Marc
