Comments on: Auto Increment in Postgres like Mysql http://codytaylor.org/2009/05/auto-increment-in-postgres-like-mysql.html From Cody Taylor.

When I was creating my table I was expecting a data type named "auto increment". I had to google what the type name was for postgres so it's not really that straight forward.

If by type, you mean you don't do this: column_name int autoincrement Then, no, I guess it's not the same, but the functionality is identical.
