feature suggestion: sequence wizard

From
"Bill Eaton"
Date:
It would be nice to automate the conversion of an integer in a table to a
"serial".

Apparently SQL Server is able to pull this off.

The steps required would be to: * automagically create a new sequence * set default value of the desired field to
nextval(newsequence) * set the value of the sequence to max(field)
 

As far as GUI is concerned, you'd want the user to be able to select the
schema --> table --> field name and the wizard would do the rest.
