Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
-
You create a table that contains an identity column.
-
You use the INSERT INTO statement to insert the execute sp_execute_external_script stored procedure to insert data into the table.

You specify the @parallel parameter value of the sp_execute_external_script stored procedure as1.
In this scenario, when you run the INSERT INTO statement, the query fails and you receive the following error message:

Column name or number of supplied values does not match table definition.
