Well, it's not the same as PostgreSQL's serial (which is a 32-bit NOT
NULL incrementing integer -- MySQL's serial is a 64-bit unique, NOT NULL
incrementing integer).
Personally, I think the implementations are different enough that making
AUTO_INCREMENT an alias for SERIAL on the PostgreSQL side of things
would just confuse the situation further...
Cheers,
