I have a relatively simple problem :
I have a field named "id" that has type "Auto-number" in an Access database table.
I know there is no 'auto_number' type in PostgreSQL. I know also, that SERIAL and SEQUENCE are workarounds for this problem, but I'm not sure how to make a field a SERIAL once its already created in the table.
I have tried making the DEFAULT value of field "id" set to SERIAL, but I get this error :
PostgreSQL said: ERROR: Attribute 'serial' not found Your query: ALTER TABLE "names" ALTER "id" SET DEFAULT SERIAL
This is my system :
odbc driver version (on Win machine) : 7.01.00.04 Insight Distrib. (PSQLODBC.DLL)
odbc driver version (on Red Hat machine) : postgresql-odbc-7.0.2-17.rpm
postgre database version : postgresql-7.0.2.rpm
error messages on screen : none.
the commlog file : see attached file (psqlodbc.log)
Suggestions, workarounds and prayers would be appreciated !
