We're converting a database from Oracle to PostGreSQL (7.3.4); many of our tables have a sequential ID field as a prime key, populated in Oracle from sequences; we would like to make these fields serial data types in PostGreSQL (to simplify insert statements etc)--and we want to keep the ID values from the existing tables; is there a way to set a minimum value for the serial type? Or will we have to go to explicit sequences with defined minimum values?
