Create postgresql sequence for database ids
Hi!
We imported a MySQL database and, since in postgre there isn't Autoincrement options, we need to create a serial.
The thing is, the current exported id's doesn't allow us to change its type from int to a serial, instead of that, Postgresql is asking to create a sequence and set the default value as the nextval of that sequence
Is there any more efficient way to do it?
Regards!
