Hi Amitabh,

Thank you for suggestion. We did not reach the limit of serial type. Some 
tables only have hundreds of rows.

Regards,
Max

Hi All,

We have a PostgreSQL database. There are 26 tables and we use serial type as 
primary key.  We had a insert error as “duplicate key value violates unique 
constraint, DETAIL:  Key (id)=(1) already exists.” one weeks ago. I checked and 
found all tables’ id were reset to 1.

I checked database log and did not find any useful information.  I am not sure 
why this happen. The only script which connect to this database is a Python 
script and only do normal insert/update/delete actions.

Please give me some suggestions if you happen to know something about this 
issue. I appreciate any feedback you might have.

I am very new to PostgreSQL and this mail list. Please let me know if I did not 
something wrong.

Thank you.

Regards,
Max


By any chance, has it to do anything with the Cycle option of sequences:
