I believe this is deliberate on the part of the postgresql programmers. If
serial numbers could be rolled back, you'd have to block any other
transactions that wanted a new serial number until the first transaction had
committed.
I don't know how to get around this, but I'd think pretty carefully before I
decided to, unless I were an a single-user or extremely few-user scenario.

Subject: [NOVICE] SERIAL does not ROLLBACK
hi
i have a table named 'mytable' with a column of type
serial. After inserting tuples in a transaction, when
i rollback the transaction the serial number does not
come back to its original value and next time when i
insert the data, it start with the incremented value.
WHY?? how can i make it to come back to its orignial
value in case of rollback.
thanx in advance...
