如果添加这样的串行列，则现有行将自动以任意"形式更新.订单.

If you add a serial column like that, the existing rows will automatically be updated in an "arbitrary" order.

要控制生成ID的顺序，您需要分多个步骤进行操作:

To control the order in which the IDs are generated you need to do this in multiple steps:

首先添加没有列的默认值( serial 表示默认值)

First add the column without a default (serial implies a default value)

ALTER TABLE tickets ADD COLUMN ticket_id integer;

然后创建一个序列以生成值:

Then create a sequence to generate the values:

create sequence tickets_ticket_id_seq;

然后更新现有行

update tickets 
  set ticket_id = t.new_id
from (
   select id, nextval('tickets_ticket_id_seq') as new_id
   from tickets
   order by "date"
) t
where t.id = tickets.id;

然后将序列设置为新列的默认值

Then make the sequence the default for the new column

alter table tickets alter column ticket_id set default nextval('tickets_ticket_id_seq');

最后，将序列与列相关联(这也是 serial 在后台执行的操作)

Finally, associate the sequence with the column (which is what a serial does in the background as well):

alter sequence tickets_ticket_id_seq owned by tickets.ticket_id;

如果表确实很大(数十"或几百")，那么创建新表可能会更快:

If the table is really big ("tens" or "hundreds" of millions) then creating a new table might be faster:

create sequence tickets_ticket_id_seq;
create table tickets_new
as
select id, nextval('activities_ticket_id_seq') ticket_id, "date", status
from tickets
order by "date";

drop table tickets cascade;
alter table tickets_new rename to tickets;
alter table tickets add primary key (id);
alter sequence tickets_ticket_id_seq owned by tickets.ticket_id;

然后重新创建该表的所有外键和索引.

Then re-create all foreign keys and indexes for that table.
