Question

I have got an python application which runs on version 2.7 using postgres 9.1 with sqlalchemy 0.7 i believe.

I have a wx python gui from which i add and delete items.The code was working fine but now after making some modifications i recieve

$self.session.commit()
$  File "build\bdist.win32\egg\sqlalchemy\orm\session.py", line 645, in commit
$  File "build\bdist.win32\egg\sqlalchemy\orm\session.py", line 313, in commit

$sqlalchemy.exc.IntegrityError: (IntegrityError) duplicate key value violates
$ unique constraint "Equipment_pkey"
$DETAIL:  Key (id)=(4) already exists.
$ 'INSERT INTO "Equipment" (name, "numPorts") VALUES (%(name)s, %(numPorts)s)     
$RETURNING "HWCIs".id' {'numPorts': 0, 'name': u'jkhj'}

Now when i restart the application the key id increases by one.I can clearly see that something is resetting the id sequence of the database. Could anypne please help on how i can fix this issue by writing python code or what is the easiet step to overcome this issue . I tried working through psql commands but i was unsuccessful due to my lack of knowledge.If solution can explained in easy steps that would be great.

Answer 1

Well I found the answer. I was conencting to another database connection which caused the database sequence to reset to 1. So when application starts it seeks to position 1. So I just needed to change the sequence to last no. It worked!
