Re: next integer in serial key

The same way the default value is defined, which you can find by doing:
\d tablename

Which usually gives something like:                                         Table "public.gbs_floorplans"       Column
     |     Type      |                                Modifiers
 

----------------------+---------------+-----------------------------------------
---------------------------------floorplan_id         | integer       | not null default
nextval('public.gbs_floorplans_floorplan_id_seq'::text)division_id          | character(3)  | not
nullfloorplan_display_id| character(10) | not null
 

Hence
SELECT nextval('public.gbs_floorplans_floorplan_id_seq'::text)
