INSERT INTO a temp table, and have an IDENTITY field created, without first declaring the temp table?

Question

I need to select a bunch of data into a temp table to then do some secondary calculations; To help make it work more efficiently, I would like to have an IDENTITY column on that

Answer 1

You could do a Select Into, which would create the table structure on the fly based on the fields you select, but I don't think it will create an identity field for you.
