[PERFORM] Auto generate number in Postgres-9.1.

От

Dear expert,

 

I have to add one column  “ID” in postgres table which will generate Auto Incremented number .

 

Example:

Suppose I have five records and if I insert 1 new record It should auto generate 6.

If I truncate the same table and then again insert rows should start with 1 in “ID” column.

 

Regards,

That's not how it works, normally.  I'd suggest adding an ON TRUNCATE
trigger to the table.

Actually that may not be necessary as long as you make sure to use the
RESTART IDENTITY option when running TRUNCATE. I would argue that is a
cleaner solution than using triggers, if you can get away with it.

Sequences are stored as a separate object in PostgreSQL.

Here in this example table and you can see that rec_id is a sequence number and that the object name is:
whiteboards_rec_id_seq

mydb=> \d whiteboards

                                         Table "public.whiteboards"
    Column     |            Type             |                          Modifiers
---------------+-----------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------
 rec_id        | integer                     | not null default nextval('whiteboards_rec_id_seq'::regclass)
 board_name    | character varying(24)       | not null
 board_content | text                        | not null
 updatets      | timestamp without time zone | default now()
Indexes:
    "whiteboards_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (rec_id)

Now I can display the whiteboards_rec_id_seq object

mydb=> \dS whiteboards_rec_id_seq
     Sequence "public.whiteboards_rec_id_seq"
    Column     |  Type   |         Value
---------------+---------+------------------------
 sequence_name | name    | whiteboards_rec_id_seq
 last_value    | bigint  | 12
 start_value   | bigint  | 1
 increment_by  | bigint  | 1
 max_value     | bigint  | 9223372036854775807
 min_value     | bigint  | 1
 cache_value   | bigint  | 1
 log_cnt       | bigint  | 31

Hi,

Thanks for your immediate response!!!!

Its working fine when we insert a new row.

But on deletion it's not automatically re-adjusting the id's.

Do I need to create trigger for this??

It is possible to do but I advice against adjusting the IDs on DELETE
due to to do so safely would require locking the entire table in the
trigger.

Note that serial columns will also get holes on ROLLBACK. In general I
think the right thing to do is accept that your ID columns can get a bit
ugly.

For example:

CREATE TABLE t (id serial);

INSERT INTO t DEFAULT VALUES;

BEGIN;

INSERT INTO t DEFAULT VALUES;

ROLLBACK;

INSERT INTO t DEFAULT VALUES;

Gives us the following data in the table:

  id
----
   1
   3
(2 rows)
