I'd like to, but I don't think I could do it.

The fact is that the serial data type is in pratice an integer, and when
I also try to connect with pgadminIII I see an integer data type and not
a serial. I think that since it sees an integer, it does not understand
that it is a serial, and access does not recognize it as autoincrement.

I'm stuck at this point...
