How to get back the current count of a auto incrementing number.

[sid tow]

hi

How to get the current value of a auto
incrementing number generated using CREATE SEQUENCE
seqname START 1

Is there any way and if yes what is it. Can we run a
select query and may be a inbuilt function which will
return the current value of that number?

Regards.

Sid,

Postgres has an excellent documentation. You can find about what you
asked here:

It always pays off to read the docs first.

Cheers,
Csaba.

This question pops about once a day...
can't the list server grep for "auto increment" and send a link to the
docs itself ;)
