Hello everybody.
I've got an vb aplication that uses an Access database. I'm trying
to convert the database to postgres. The conversion was done ok, but
i've got a little problem that i don't know how to solve. Let's see if
anyone can help me.
The conversion from access database to postgres worked fine.
Everithing it's ok. But now, when i use my database i've found a problem
with sequences. In the conversion, the "autonumeric" fields from access
have been converted to sequences, everithing ok in a first view. The
problem comes because the autonumeric fields in access always return the
last value of the table +1, but postgres no. Postgres returns "lost" (i
don't know how to call them) values. An example.
This is an example of a table:
code | description ----- | ------------ 1 | desc 1 2 | desc 2 6 | desc 6
7 | desc 7
In access if i execute "INSERT INTO table (description) VALUES
('desc 8'), the result row is 8 | desc 8 But in postgres the same query te result row is 3 | desc 8
My question is, can i do something to make ANY sequence to take the
last value from his associated table, and not a "lost" value?
Thank you very much
