I have a table in which one attribute "id" is a bigserial

when i say
select setval('table_id_seq', 0);
it says: values 0 is out of bounds.
what should i do?

Try a "SELECT * FROM table_id_seq" and see what it's min_value is - I'm
guessing it's set to 1.

IS that what you really want, or do you just want the first assignment
to be a 1?

If so, then just do setval('table_id_seq', 1, FALSE);
