Answer 1

You can reset model id sequence using sqlsequencereset command

python manage.py sqlsequencereset myapp1 myapp2 myapp3| psql

If you want to read the generated sql command, just execute that command without pipe it to psql.

python manage.py sqlsequencereset myapp1 myapp2 myapp3

You need use this command over your production database. But, as @knbk mentioned, if your production database is new, you don't need to reset id sequences.
