I have 96,000 records in a postgres table that has an unpopulated field for 
datetime.  I need the value in that field to be unique, but the ACTUAL 
value isn't really that important.  I'd like to begin with the first 
record, enter a date and time, and then increment that value by one second 
for the next field, one second for the next, and so on.  Can I do this 
directly from within psql??  I could do this in dbase w/ no problem, but 
I'm really not that familiar with sql syntax. . .
