Identity Columns

Identity Columns

An identity column contains unique values that are automatically generated.

Rules and Guidelines for Identity Columns

  • The data type for an identity column must be either int or bigint.
  • When you create a mapping for an insert operation, you must link either all the source and target identity columns or none.
  • When you create a mapping for an update, upsert or delete operation, you cannot map the identity columns that are not part of the primary key.
  • If an identity column is part of the primary key, you must map the column for update, upsert, and delete operations, or the
    session
    fails. However, you cannot set a source value for these columns.
  • The ExplicitID and MaxError count options are removed for the upsert, update, and delete operations.
