Re: Sequences

Constructing dynamic SQL is always a bit tricky. Try define this
function:

---
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION seqs_last_val()
RETURNS SETOF record
AS $$
  DECLARE
    _seqname varchar;
    _r record;
  BEGIN
    SELECT INTO _r null::varchar AS seqname, -1::integer AS lastval;

    FOR _seqname IN
      SELECT sequence_name
      FROM information_schema.sequences
      WHERE sequence_schema = 'public'
    LOOP
      _r.seqname = _seqname;
      EXECUTE format('SELECT last_value FROM %s', quote_ident(_seqname)) INTO _r.lastval;
      RETURN NEXT _r;
    END LOOP;

    RETURN;
  END
$$ LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';
---

Then run:

   SELECT * FROM seqs_last_val() AS (seqname varchar, last_value integer);
