Autogenerated (identity) columns are used as surrogate keys. Refer to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrogate_key[^]

It's a good practice to use surrogate key so that changes in actual data won't affect keys (both primary and foreign keys). Also when numeric datatype is used it's a bit more efficient than character types and also typically uses less space. But the main point is that it is not derived from data.

The need to optimize rises from a bad design.
