Yes, that was the specific question (let's call it Issue 1). In this case, it would be complicated by the fact that Base did not define the PK it generated for the original .dbf import as auto-increment.
This one has a work around.

If you drag and drop onto Base, then when the copy table wizard opens, instead of defining the table and copying the data in, in one step you simply create the table structure. Then when the field type INTEGER or BIGINT is marked as the PK it is created as AUTO_INCREMENT.

After this drag and drop again, but this time only append the data to an existing table - then the data comes in, either include the PK value from the old table - this works as long as the values are unique, or simply leave that field out and new keys are made. This later approach has a down side if there are FK relationships in your schema of course.
