What Is Identity? |
|
Answer» Identity (or AutoNumber) is a column that automatically generates numeric values. A start and increment value can be set, but most DBA LEAVE these at 1. A GUID column also generates NUMBERS; the value of this cannot be controlled. Identity/GUID columns do not NEED to be indexed.
