Question

I am combining 2 tables into 1, by using the following statements

Select Calls.*,Patient.*
INTO Calls2
From Calls,Patient

Now, i set one of the column as primary key but I cant get that primary key to have Identity Increment.
What should i do to do this?

Thanks in advance,
Madhu

First, you should know that you are doing a cartesian product of your tables. If you want to add an identity column when you are creating your table, then do the following:

Select IDENTITY(INT,1,1) ID, Calls.*,Patient.*
INTO Calls2
From Calls,Patient
