Adding Identity Column in SELECT INTO Statement in SQL SERVER

Is used only in a SELECT statement with an INTO table clause to insert an identity column into a new table.

Note: More than one identity column cannot be in table.

-- Create table
CREATE TABLE MyOrders3
(
    ProductName varchar(20)
);

-- Creating Copy of 'MyOrders3' with additional IDENTITY column
select IDENTITY(int, 1,1) AS Id,* INTO MyOrdersIdentity
from MyOrders3

insert into MyOrdersIdentity values ('Samsung')

select * from MyOrdersIdentity

Thanks J
