I am a moron -- how do I automatically increment a primary key field?

How can I make sure that each record inserted into a table is given a 
unique primary key?  I'm used to using MySQL which has an 
"auto_increment" feature so that I don't even have to worry about the 
primary key.



I've Googled for this quite a bit and haven't found anything.  It seems 
like it would be such a common task that it would be really easy to 
track down.



Any help that anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.
