Re: START for SERIAL type?

When you create a SEQUENCE, you are allowed to specify a START. Is
there a way to specify a START if you use a serial type in a CREATE
TABLE statement?

I'm envisioning something like:
CREATE TABLE foo ( foo_id serial ( 101 ) );

No. You do it after you create the table. The SERIAL type creates a
sequence, so just use the sequence command setval() to set the
starting value for the named sequence.
