PostgreSQL set Next ID Sequence Value to MAX(id) from Table
-- Get Max ID from table
SELECT MAX(id) FROM table;
-- Get Next ID from table
SELECT nextval('table_id_seq');
-- Set Next ID Value to MAX ID
SELECT setval('table_id_seq', (SELECT MAX(id) FROM table));

See https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Fixing_Sequences to fix all sequences in one go

Not always an issue, but worth noting: the value that it sets it to if there are no rows is 1 which results in the first invocation of nextval returning 2 and skipping 1.
