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(new sequence)
* 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.
