Hello,

In a stored procedure, I need to know if a table contains an IDENTITY.

It seems this information is not in syscolumns.

Do you know where this property is stored?

Thanks

[code]SELECT name
FROM syscolumns
WHERE COLUMNPROPERTY(id,name, 'isIdentity') = 1
AND OBJECT_NAME(id)='your table name here'
[/code]

Lists all table with Identity Properties:

Select [name] from 
sys.objects Where type = 'U'
and OBJECTPROPERTY(OBJECT_ID([name]),'Tablehasidentity') = 1
and [name] not like 'dt%' and [name] not like 'sys%'
Order by [name]

for sql 2000 use sysobjects instead of sys.objects
