Add quto increment to existing column

Hi,

I have a column in a table called hist_id with the datatype "integer". When I created the table I assigned this column the primary key constraint but didn´t make it an auto-increment column.

How could I do this to an the already existing column?

I have created the sequence with the following command but don´t know how to change the existing column to auto-increment.

$ create sequence hist_id_seq;

thanks for any help,

Rob
