Problem importing auto-increment fields in MS Access to PostgreSQL - Mailing list pgsql-general

<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.


When I export the database via ODBC to a PostgreSQL table, the
"auto- number" property of this field is lost (!) :

<<snippet of commlog>

CREATE TABLE "names"("id" int4,"name" varchar(50),"tel_no"
varchar(50))

<</snippet>


I also access the PostgreSQL database via a web-based GUI
(phpPgAdmin  from GreatBridge), and when I add new rows to it,
the id field does not auto- increment.


<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 !
