Does type "serial" exist in Xata/Drizzle?

I keep getting error: type "serial" does not exist when I push my schema: id: serial('id').primaryKey().notNull(), and if I do introspect I get this: id: integer("id").default(nextval('cv_theque_profiles_id_seq'::regclass)).primaryKey().notNull(), which is not valid syntaxically

Xata supports it, the error looks like Drizzle does not know of the type. Are you importing it from pg-core?

import { pgTable, serial } from 'drizzle-orm/pg-core';

import { pgTable, serial } from 'drizzle-orm/pg-core';

Just tested it, it correctly creates a sequence in Xata. There may be a bug in how drizzle handles it

There's a reported drizzle bug for this: https://github.com/drizzle-team/drizzle-orm/issues/2183

I have created everything from scratch again: this my drizzle schema:

import { pgTable, serial } from 'drizzle-orm/pg-core'

export const test = pgTable('test', {
    id: serial('id').primaryKey().notNull(),
})

import { pgTable, serial } from 'drizzle-orm/pg-core'

export const test = pgTable('test', {
    id: serial('id').primaryKey().notNull(),
})

and that's is how it reflects on Xata dashboard after pushing (image attached) and this is what I get after introspecting:

import { pgTable, integer } from "drizzle-orm/pg-core"
  import { sql } from "drizzle-orm"



export const test = pgTable("test", {
    id: integer("id").default(nextval('test_id_seq'::regclass)).primaryKey().notNull(),
});

import { pgTable, integer } from "drizzle-orm/pg-core"
  import { sql } from "drizzle-orm"



export const test = pgTable("test", {
    id: integer("id").default(nextval('test_id_seq'::regclass)).primaryKey().notNull(),
});

The Xata expression is correct, this is the Postgres-native syntax for Drizzle's "serial". Drizzle seems to have a bug handling this, after creating it (see the linked issue)

I see. Thank you again for clarifying.
