>In my tests Identity does appear to respect appended order, but is that just happenstance or something I can rely on?
>>This might or might not be relevant - does the underlying SQL table have a primary key and a clustered index on that identity column?
Hi Kevin. Yes, the identity column is PK with clustered index.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
