Hi List,
I need that somebody help me.
First, I use PostgreSQL 7.0.3 for linux.
I need reset my sequence but that it begin in 1 again when a use nextval.
And I have been search in http://archives.postgresql.org/ about reset
sequence but I obtain this information:
SELECT setval('name_sequence', 1, false);
Now when I execute this command I have a message ERROR.
"ERROR: Function 'setval(unknow, int4, bool)' does not exist. Unable to
identify a function that satisfies the given argument types. You may need to
add explicit typecast".

That will probably set the current value to 1, which will result in a
nextval of 2, which is perhaps not what Ricardo wanted.

\df setval
in psql should output all possible parameter combinations for setval.
