It would be nice to automate the conversion of an integer in a table to a
"serial".

Apparently SQL Server is able to pull this off.

The steps required would be to:
  * automagically create a new sequence
  * set default value of the desired field to nextval(new sequence)
  * set the value of the sequence to max(field)

As far as GUI is concerned, you'd want the user to be able to select the
schema --> table --> field name and the wizard would do the rest.
