Problem importing auto-increment fields in MS Access to Postgresql

<color><param>0100,0100,0100</param>Hi there


<bold>I have a relatively simple problem :  </bold>


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 :

<color><param>FF00,0000,0000</param>PostgreSQL said: ERROR: Attribute 'serial' not found 
Your query: 
<bold>ALTER TABLE "names" ALTER "id" SET DEFAULT SERIAL</bold>


<bold><color><param>0000,0000,0000</param>This is my system : </bold>


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)



<color><param>0100,0100,0100</param>Suggestions, workarounds and prayers would be appreciated !
