Hi!
Perhaps I misunderstood its logic - I think the following example
illusated in man page "create_sequence" and
"http://www.postgresql.org/devel-corner/docs/postgres/sql-createsequence.htm";:
CREATE FUNCTION distributors_id_max() RETURNS INT4
AS 'SELECT max(id) FROM distributors'
LANGUAGE 'sql';
BEGIN;
COPY distributors FROM 'input_file';
SELECT setval('serial', distributors_id_max());
END;
is intended to be:
CREATE FUNCTION distributors_id_max() RETURNS INT4
AS 'SELECT max(id)+1 FROM distributors' -- !NOTE HERE
LANGUAGE 'sql';
BEGIN;
COPY distributors FROM 'input_file';
SELECT setval('serial', distributors_id_max());
END;
Regards,
CN
