As Dracko says, the thing to use is Counter(1,1), rather than AutoNumber. In fact you can create the table directly this way with :

CREATE TABLE Details (Serial Counter(1,1),
                      Name TEXT,
                      Country Text);

A Best Answer for Dracko on this one may be appropriate :)
