Subject: How to autoincrement a primary key...

I am sure this is simple, but I don't get it. I am new to PGSQL, coming from
MySQL - in mysql, you can autoincrement the primary key; in postgre, I am
not sure how to do this. I have read the documentation, and tried "nextval"
as the default - I have searched for the datatype SERIAL, but I am using
navicat and this datatype is not supported. Can someone tell me how to do
this - I just want the integer value for a primary key to autoincrement by
one. 

Thanks,

Doug
