Sorry Dan. I didn't ask that questions correctly. What I should
have said "How can I add a autoincrement primary key" :)
Right clicking on the table icon does show me the feature to add a
'row', but I don't see anything like an autoincrement datatype.
And I'm not sure if I will need it in this case... but would be
handy.
