Hi,

Thanks for your immediate response!!!!

Its working fine when we insert a new row.

But on deletion it's not automatically re-adjusting the id's.

Do I need to create trigger for this??

Regards,

Sequences are stored as a separate object in PostgreSQL.

Here in this example table and you can see that rec_id is a sequence number and that the object name is: whiteboards_rec_id_seq

mydb=> \d whiteboards

                                         Table "public.whiteboards"
    Column     |            Type             |                          Modifiers
---------------+-----------------------------+--------------------------
---------------+-----------------------------+--------------------------
---------------+-----------------------------+----------
 rec_id        | integer                     | not null default nextval('whiteboards_rec_id_seq'::regclass)
 board_name    | character varying(24)       | not null
 board_content | text                        | not null
 updatets      | timestamp without time zone | default now()
Indexes:
    "whiteboards_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (rec_id)

Now I can display the whiteboards_rec_id_seq object

mydb=> \dS whiteboards_rec_id_seq
     Sequence "public.whiteboards_rec_id_seq"
    Column     |  Type   |         Value
---------------+---------+------------------------
 sequence_name | name    | whiteboards_rec_id_seq
 last_value    | bigint  | 12
 start_value   | bigint  | 1
 increment_by  | bigint  | 1
 max_value     | bigint  | 9223372036854775807
 min_value     | bigint  | 1
 cache_value   | bigint  | 1
 log_cnt       | bigint  | 31
 is_cycled     | boolean | f
 is_called     | boolean | t

That's not how it works, normally.  I'd suggest adding an ON TRUNCATE trigger to the table.
