Обсуждение: [GENERAL] Reset Sequence number

Firstly, anonymous procedures are not supported in PostgreSQL, you need to
embed this block in a plpgsql function[1] body & call that function if you want
reset sequence value manually, or you could use CYCLE option[2] of a
sequence to auto reset.

No need for a PL/pgSQL block.

You can do that with a plain SQL statement using setval():
  select setval('table_1_seq', (select max(id) from table1));
