Insert Into a Table With Only One Identity Column

If you have a table that as only one column and that column is an identity column, then in order to INSERT into it, you need to use this statement:

INSERT INTO [MyTable] DEFAULT VALUES

This works in SQL Server 2008 and I haven't tested in earlier versions.

In SQL Server 2012, we have the introduction of a SEQUENCE. You could consider using one of those as an alternative.
