Sounds like you need to adjust the sequence counters underlying the
auto-increment columns so that their settings are higher than any
of the already-existing ID values.  Auto-increment isn't really a
native concept in Postgres, it's something you have to build from
a sequence object and a suitable default expression.  Getting the
sequence set correctly is an easy step to miss when migrating from
a different DBMS.
