Your question was, how to set the sequence to a new value, and my answer was: use setval(). Now you tried to create a new table. You have a simple syntax error: ,----[ example ] | test=# create sequence testseq; | CREATE SEQUENCE | test=*# create table testtab (id int default nextval('testseq')); | CREATE TABLE `---- You forgot the word 'default'. > > > Shavonne Wijesinghe > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "A.
