IDENTITY_ENFORCE_UNIQUENESS Option

Creates a unique HG index on each IDENTITY/AUTOINCREMENT column, if the column is not already a primary key.

Allowed Values

ON, OFF

Default

OFF

Scope

Option can be set at the database (PUBLIC) or user level. When set at the database level, the value becomes the default for any new user, but has no impact on existing users. When set at the user level, overrides the PUBLIC value for that user only. No system privilege is required to set option for self. System privilege is required to set at database level or at user level for any user other than self.

Requires the SET ANY PUBLIC OPTION system privilege to set this option. Can be set temporary for an individual connection or for the PUBLIC role. Takes effect immediately.

Description

When option is set ON, HG indexes are created on future identity columns. The index can only be deleted if the deleting user is the only one using the table and the table is not a local temporary table.
