• Although I knew of the possibility to reseed and explicitly adding identity values to a table, I never considered the fact that it made it possible to add non-unique values for the identity column within one table.

    Moreover, a part of the microsoft online help was a bit misleading on the subject:

    This is because the IDENTITY property is guaranteed to be unique only for the table on which it is used.

    How should I interpret "identity property" in this sentence?
