After much research I am a little confused by which identity tracker I should use in sql.
From what I understand scope_identity will give me the last id updated from any table and ident_current will will return the last id from a specified table.
So given that information it would seem to me the best version to use (if you know which table you will be updating) is ident_current. Yet, upon reading it seems most people prefer to use scope_identity. What is the reasoning behind this and is there a flaw in my logic?
