The easiest way in PostgreSQL is to simply make the field a serial type.

CREATE TABLE mytable (
id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
myname TEXT);

Again, the table definition can handle this.

CREATE TABLE mytable (
id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
mydate DATE DEFAULT CURRENT_DATE,
myname TEXT);

You should check out the docs on the web site. They are quite comprehensive.
