Postges Serial column type

[gmbronco]

I’m curious why serial types were removed from the original Drizzle. Is there a Ponder-specific method for setting up integer auto-incrementing primary keys in the database? Thank you!

We don't have an auto incrementing column type yet. The reason being is that the store methods (db.find(), db.insert ...) run in-memory rather than as sql queries for performance reasons. There's nothing fundamental about not supporting them, just haven't implemented it yet. Right now most users use something like log.id as a unique key.
