The Microsoft JDBC Driver for SQL Server supports the optional JDBC 3.0 APIs to retrieve automatically generated row identifiers. The main value of this feature is to provide a way to make IDENTITY values available to an application that is updating a database table without a requiring a query and a second round-trip to the server.
Dec 04, 2012 How to Activate Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 180-day Evaluation Version After Expiration with a Product Key (Step-by-step) December 4, 2012 Aalam Rangi The trial period of the Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 180-day Evaluation version had come to an end on my laptop and the SQL Server had stopped working. Nov 27, 2015 Essentially I am upgrading SQL Server Standard 2008 r2 to SQL Server Standard 2012, however I have a question concerning the licensing. Do I use the 2008r2 Product Key for the 2012 upgrade? Will I need to get a brand new SQL Server 2012 Standard Product Key?
Because SQL Server doesn't support pseudo columns for identifiers, updates that have to use the auto-generated key feature must operate against a table that contains an IDENTITY column. SQL Server allows only a single IDENTITY column per table. The result set that is returned by getGeneratedKeys method of the SQLServerStatement class will have only one column, with the returned column name of GENERATED_KEYS. If generated keys are requested on a table that has no IDENTITY column, the JDBC driver will return a null result set.

In the following example, an open connection to the sample database is passed in to the function, an SQL statement is constructed that will add data to the table, and then the statement is run and the IDENTITY column value is displayed.

-->Returns the MD2, MD4, MD5, SHA, SHA1, or SHA2 hash of its input in SQL Server.
Syntax
Arguments
<algorithm>
Identifies the hashing algorithm to be used to hash the input. This is a required argument with no default. The single quotation marks are required. Beginning with SQL Server 2016 (13.x), all algorithms other than SHA2_256, and SHA2_512 are deprecated.
@input
Specifies a variable containing the data to be hashed. @input is varchar, nvarchar, or varbinary.
'input'
Specifies an expression that evaluates to a character or binary string to be hashed.
The output conforms to the algorithm standard: 128 bits (16 bytes) for MD2, MD4, and MD5; 160 bits (20 bytes) for SHA and SHA1; 256 bits (32 bytes) for SHA2_256, and 512 bits (64 bytes) for SHA2_512.
Applies to: SQL Server 2012 (11.x) and later
For SQL Server 2014 (12.x) and earlier, allowed input values are limited to 8000 bytes.
Return Value
varbinary (maximum 8000 bytes)
Remarks
Consider using CHECKSUM or BINARY_CHECKSUM as alternatives to compute a hash value.
The MD2, MD4, MD5, SHA, and SHA1 algorithms are deprecated starting with SQL Server 2016 (13.x). Use SHA2_256 or SHA2_512 instead. Older algorithms will continue working, but they will raise a deprecation event.
Examples
Return the hash of a variable
The following example returns the SHA2_256 hash of the nvarchar data stored in variable @HashThis.
Return the hash of a table column
Sql Server 2008 R2 Enterprise
The following example returns the SHA2_256 hash of the values in column c1 in the table Test1.
