Database conversion type serial question

[Carol Walter <walterc@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm converting a database developed by a group of students from  
Oracle to Postgres.  There are fields that should be primary keys  
using sequences.  I can get the primary keys designated but when I  
try to change the type from integer to serial I get an error saying  
that 'type "serial" does not exist.  Can I designate a column not  
previously defined as serial to serial.  It was a sequence on the  
Oracle database that I'm converting it from.
