Hi

Is there any method of clearing the serial numbering so that ID references
can start afresh without rebuilding the database.

Of I use postgresql as part of my application I would like to use pgdump to
ensure that I have the latest version and starting the serial numbering at
#1 would be a good thing.

Look up setval(), currval() and nextval(), the sequence manipulation functions.

setval('seqname',1,true) will reset seqname back like new.
