Supabase primary key type
When I run
introspect, the primary key of my tables look something like this:
Problem is this doesn't auto-increment upon insert. It seems like there's no support for integer "generated always as identity" in Drizzle which is how Supabase does things by default.
Does this mean I have to switch all my primary keys to bigserial instead?

Kind of dissapointed that drizzle doesn't support "generated always as identity" since this is recommended by postgres instead of serial. But I was able to get past this by migrating my primary keys to serial. Got the error:
or: type "serial" does not exist but I got around it by recreating my tables in Supabase (export table data as csv and reimported which was kind of annoying).There is a PR open for this. We should get it pretty soon https://github.com/drizzle-team/drizzle-orm/pull/1471

@Angelelz once this is done will there be an easy way to migrate to "generated always as identity"? When I migrated to serial, I had to recreate all tables because of the
"serial" does not exist errorI think that if you move to serial you have issues, but not the way around. I'm honestly not sure
