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.
Syntax :
IDENTITY ( seed, increment )
