How To Create Table with Identity Column
 I have an existing table that I am about to blow away because I did not create it with the ID column set to be the table's Identity column.  
Using SQL Server Management Studio , I scripted a "Create To..." of the existing table and got this:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[History](
    [ID] [int] NOT NULL,
    [RequestID] [int] NOT NULL,
    [EmployeeID] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
    [DateStamp] [datetime] NOT NULL,
 CONSTRAINT [PK_History] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED 
(
    [ID] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX  = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE  = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS  = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS  = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]
 My question is, how would I modify this SQL so that my resulting table has the ID column set as the Identity ?  
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[History](
    [ID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
    [RequestID] [int] NOT NULL,
    [EmployeeID] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
    [DateStamp] [datetime] NOT NULL,
 CONSTRAINT [PK_History] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED 
(
    [ID] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX  = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE  = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS  = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS  = ON)
) ON [PRIMARY]
This has already been answered, but I think the simplest syntax is:
CREATE TABLE History (
    ID int primary key IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
    . . .
The more complicated constraint index is useful when you actually want to change the options.
By the way, I prefer to name such a column HistoryId, so it matches the names of the columns in foreign key relationships.
[id] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
of course since you're creating the table in SQL Server Management Studio you could use the table designer to set the Identity Specification.
