Hi all I'm seeing enough questions on pgsql-general and stack overflow to suggest that the docs for how sequences interact with transaction rollback. Take the most recent post on -general, where the person read at least the tutorial, but had no idea about the exemption. The attached patch: - Moves the note about nextval() from the footer to be inside the nextval description - Adds an xref from the advanced-transactions tutorial where the poster noted their point of confusion, noting the exemption and pointing to the docs on nextval. - A pointer from the docs on SERIAL types to the nextval notes on tx rollback. Comments would be appreciated. -- Craig Ringer
