The postgres-specific sql extension 'ALTER SEQUENCE' does not appear to
support subqueries.
I have inserted some data into a table, including values in the primary key.
I want to reset the associated sequence so that any further records to be
inserted into that table resume numbering correctly. The statement I
attempted was:
ALTER SEQUENCE foo_id_seq
RESTART WITH (SELECT max(id) FROM foo);
Is this syntax correct and supported?
