IntegrityError duplicate key value violates unique constraint - django/postgres

I\'m following up in regards to a question that I asked earlier in which I sought to seek a conversion from a goofy/poorly written mysql query to postgresql. I believe I suc

If you want to reset the PK on all of your tables, like me, you can use the PostgreSQL recommended way:

SELECT 'SELECT SETVAL(' ||
       quote_literal(quote_ident(PGT.schemaname) || '.' || quote_ident(S.relname)) ||
       ', COALESCE(MAX(' ||quote_ident(C.attname)|| '), 1) ) FROM ' ||
       quote_ident(PGT.schemaname)|| '.'||quote_ident(T.relname)|| ';'
FROM pg_class AS S,
     pg_depend AS D,
     pg_class AS T,
     pg_attribute AS C,
     pg_tables AS PGT
WHERE S.relkind = 'S'
    AND S.oid = D.objid
    AND D.refobjid = T.oid
    AND D.refobjid = C.attrelid
    AND D.refobjsubid = C.attnum
    AND T.relname = PGT.tablename
ORDER BY S.relname;

After running this query, you will need to execute the results of the query. I typically copy and paste into Notepad. Then I find and replace "SELECT with SELECT and ;" with ;. I copy and paste into pgAdmin III and run the query. It resets all of the tables in the database. More "professional" instructions are provided at the link above.
