The following works in the Rails 3 console to reset Postgres sequences:
ActiveRecord::Base.connection.reset_pk_sequence!(\'menucontrols\')
ActiveRecord::Base.con
I found one way to do it from this posting: Reset PostgreSQL
I placed the following into seed.rb
and ran rake db:seed
ActiveRecord::Base.connection.tables.each do |table|
result = ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute("SELECT id FROM #{table} ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 1") rescue ( puts "Warning: not procesing table #{table}. Id is missing?" ; next )
ai_val = result.any? ? result.first['id'].to_i + 1 : 1
puts "Resetting auto increment ID for #{table} to #{ai_val}"
ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute("ALTER SEQUENCE #{table}_id_seq RESTART WITH #{ai_val}")
end
This is easier
ActiveRecord::Base.connection.tables.each do |t|
ActiveRecord::Base.connection.reset_pk_sequence!(t)
end
