 * Update the primary key sequence in PostgreSQL tables after seeding data. This ensures that id conflicts do not occur when records are subsequently added to the table.
 
+* Raise ActiveRecord::RecordNotSaved if any of the saves fail (but they won't fail due to validation since saves are done without validation, so this guards against callbacks failing etc.)
