I want to create a list of columns in SQL Server 2005 that have identity columns and their corresponding table in T-SQL.
Results would be something like:
TableName, ColumnName
This question is related to
sql-server
tsql
metadata
identity-column
This query seems to do the trick:
SELECT
sys.objects.name AS table_name,
sys.columns.name AS column_name
FROM sys.columns JOIN sys.objects
ON sys.columns.object_id=sys.objects.object_id
WHERE
sys.columns.is_identity=1
AND
sys.objects.type in (N'U')
By some reason sql server save some identity columns in different tables, the code that work for me, is the following:
select TABLE_NAME tabla,COLUMN_NAME columna
from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
where COLUMNPROPERTY(object_id(TABLE_SCHEMA+'.'+TABLE_NAME), COLUMN_NAME, 'IsIdentity') = 1
union all
select o.name tabla, c.name columna
from sys.objects o
inner join sys.columns c on o.object_id = c.object_id
where c.is_identity = 1
This query seems to do the trick:
SELECT
sys.objects.name AS table_name,
sys.columns.name AS column_name
FROM sys.columns JOIN sys.objects
ON sys.columns.object_id=sys.objects.object_id
WHERE
sys.columns.is_identity=1
AND
sys.objects.type in (N'U')
Another way (for 2000 / 2005/2012/2014):
IF ((SELECT OBJECTPROPERTY( OBJECT_ID(N'table_name_here'), 'TableHasIdentity')) = 1)
PRINT 'Yes'
ELSE
PRINT 'No'
NOTE: table_name_here should be schema.table, unless the schema is dbo.

order by TABLE_NAME
I think this works for SQL 2000:
SELECT
CASE WHEN C.autoval IS NOT NULL THEN
'Identity'
ELSE
'Not Identity'
AND
FROM
sysobjects O
INNER JOIN
syscolumns C
ON
O.id = C.id
WHERE
O.NAME = @TableName
AND
C.NAME = @ColumnName

here's a working version for MSSQL 2000. I've modified the 2005 code found here: http://sqlfool.com/2011/01/identity-columns-are-you-nearing-the-limits/

Looking at the documentation page the status column can also be utilized. Also you can add the four part identifier and it will work across different servers.

List of tables without Identity column based on Guillermo answer:
