* GenGUID (AutoNumber) in postgres

I have a database that was migrated from Access. I am having trouble porting
"AutoNumber" datatype. The column that is of type "AutoNumber" is suppose to
Unique ID (PK) for that table. Internally it uses GenGUID API in access to
generate the unique ID.
Any ideas on how to port this functionality to Postgres.
Thanks

I don't use Access, but you might want to look at the documentation
about "serial" data type.
