Re: Is it necessary to have index for child table in following case?

Sorry. I do read your previous post.However, I ignore and soon forget quite a while, as I do not how to use it with the column contains serial

PQexec(Database::instance().getConnection(), "copy unit_1 from stdin");
// | serial | int | int
/* But I just do not want to put 9999 as serial. I want it to be auto-increment. However, I have no idea how to make serial auto-increment, without using INSERT.
*/
PQputline(Database::instance().getConnection(),"9999\t1\t888\n");
PQputline(Database::instance().getConnection(),"\\.\n");
PQendcopy(Database::instance().getConnection());

Thanks and Regards
