What happens is that if I do a select nextval('seq') I get a number

   ALTER SEQUENCE seq RESTART WITH <max + 1>;
   select pg_catalog.setval(seq, <max+1>, true);

Your sequence was probably created with the CACHE parameter.  This
will cause each session to cache n values from the sequence.
Resetting the sequence from another session will not affect the others
until they've gone through all their cached values.

      choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
      match
