Sequencing Identity Numbers in SQL Server 2012

Identity columns are nothing new in T-SQL.  They are great when you want a unique number to be automatically assigned every time you insert a new record.  The trouble is that while they are unique within the table, they are probably the same between tables.  Every table with an identity column has a 1 for the first record, a 2 for the second, etc.  Of course you can set the seed and increment for the identity column to something other than (1,1), but you still have to manually track which table has which seed.  Trying to track that is destined for failure.  What we really need is a way to have automatically assigned numbers for new records, but ones which are guaranteed to be unique across any table that uses them.  Of course, you know I wouldn’t be writing this if there weren’t a solution.  In SQL Server 2012, Microsoft introduced something called the SEQUENCE object that does this very thing.
