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. . .
