Hi there

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 !

love
rich handler
