Hello Daniel Yes, I agree with you, IDENTITY columns are useless for me, so I quit using them. Maybe for a log table or something so can serve, but for normal work they are useless.
I had returned to the old and well suitable practice of generator/trigger, so with a short stored procedure I can INSERT and UPDATE too. Fewer lines of code are a good practice according to my point of view. Greetings. Walter.
