How to get all the Tables with or without an Identity column in Sql Server?

This article provides the script to find all the Tables with or without an Identity column

Tables with Identity column

We can write a query like below to get all the Tables with Identity column:

SELECT name 'Table with Identity column'
FROM SYS.Tables
WHERE OBJECTPROPERTY(object_id,'TableHasIdentity') = 1
      AND type = 'U'

Tables without Identity column

We can write a query like below to get all the Tables without Identity column:

SELECT name 'Table without Identity column'
FROM SYS.Tables
WHERE OBJECTPROPERTY(object_id,'TableHasIdentity') = 0
      AND type = 'U'

EXAMPLE

Let us understand the above scripts with an example. To understand this, let us create a demo database SqlHintsDemoDB with Customers table having an identity column and an Orders table without identity column.

CREATE DATABASE SqlHintsDemoDB
GO
USE SqlHintsDemoDB
GO
/*Let us create Customers table with Identity column.*/
CREATE TABLE dbo.Customers (
    CustomerId int IDENTITY (1, 1) 
              PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED NOT NULL ,
    FirstName Varchar(50),
    LastName Varchar(50))
GO
/*Let us create Orders Table without and Identity column.*/
CREATE TABLE dbo.Orders (
    OrderId int NOT NULL ,
    CustomerId int NOT NULL ,
    CreationDT DATETIME NOT NULL)
GO

Now let us run the queries to get the list of all Tables with or without identity column and verify the result:
