SERIAL datatype in Postgres
Serial
is just syntactic sugaring on top of an int
column that takes its value from a sequence. While you can't control a serial
column's definitions directly, you could use an explicit sequence definition instead:
CREATE SEQUENCE tablename_colname_seq INCREMENT BY 10 START WITH 100; -- Here!CREATE TABLE tablename ( colname integer NOT NULL DEFAULT nextval('tablename_colname_seq'));ALTER SEQUENCE tablename_colname_seq OWNED BY tablename.colname;
You can alter
your existing sequence(not matter whether its serial or what) like below
ALTER SEQUENCE mytbl_id_seq INCREMENT 10 RESTART with 100
When creating a table
create table mytbl (id serial,val int)
a sequence will automatically creates i.e
CREATE SEQUENCE mytbl_id_seq INCREMENT 1 START 1
so you can alter this with your desired values i.e
ALTER SEQUENCE mytbl_id_seq INCREMENT 10 RESTART with 100
