Unique constrain error, id still incremented

Hi folks, so I have moved from TypeORM to DrizzleORM and I love it! I encountered an issue recently where I have a unique constrain on my email field:

export const users = pgTable("users", {
  ...
  email: varchar("email", { length: 256 }).unique().notNull(),
});

export const users = pgTable("users", {
  ...
  email: varchar("email", { length: 256 }).unique().notNull(),
});

When I try to save the user, everything works, I get my user with id , for example 10. Now when I try to save the same user, I get my nice error message: "detail": "Key (email)=([email protected]) already exists.". The issue comes when I try to save a new user now. Instead of saving a new user with id 11, it skips the one it tried to save when unique constrain error was thrown and save the new user with id 12. Any ideas how to fix this please ?

This is how the database will work There is a way to reset the count in any case

Cheers mate, if that's how it should behave then I can live with it. Was just wondering if I am not doing anything wrong. Thanks!
