You cannot use ALTER TABLE to change a column into IDENTITY column
(except on SQL Server CE!). One way is to rename the table, create
a new and move over the data. You need to have SET IDENTITY_INSERT
on for the table when you move the data.
You can also do it in Enterprise Mangager - which will renamed and
move data behind the scenes.
