do you mean that, declaring an index serial, I'd never have to deal with
incrementing its primary key? good to know!
anyway in this particular situation I don't need such accurate
behaviour: this table is filled up with a lot of data twice per week and
it's used only to answer queries.
I could drop it whenever I want :)

Thanks again,
eddy
