To get the current sequence value in PostgreSQL, you can use the following SQL query:<\/b><\/p>\n

“`sql
\nSELECT last_value FROM your_sequence_name;
\n“`<\/p>\n

This query will return the current value of the sequence specified in your_sequence_name.<\/p>\n

PostgreSQL sequences are often used to generate unique identifiers for rows in a table. You may need to get the current value of a sequence for various reasons, such as troubleshooting or auditing purposes.<\/p>\n

Using the `last_value` function in conjunction with the sequence name allows you to easily retrieve the current value of a sequence in PostgreSQL.<\/p>\n
