I can see how this will return the set of inserted values. However, I am not sure that I understand just how we can match this set of inserted identity values to the rows we have just inserted. To elaborate - lets assume we are inserting two PERSON records. We have separate addresses for each PERSON. Both of the individuals are called "John Smith", with the same birth date. So how can we be sure that we have successfully matched address to the right JOHN SMITH? Or must we be able to uniquely identify the inserted rows to be able to successfully match them to the identities associated with the inserted row?
