Perhaps:
SELECT SETVAL('resrc_serial', MAX(resource_id)) FROM ia_resources;
the sequence the column the table
This sets the sequence to the highest number after I have used "copy" to load a table; other values instead of MAX()
couldbe used (e.g. 123456, etc.).

What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless,
whether the mad destruction is brought under the name of totalitarianism or
the holy name of liberty and democracy?
