identity column to a normal column using sequence.

I think you are going to have to export the data, drop the table,
re-create the table without IDENTITY, re-load the data.

Then create your sequence, do your 'grant usage', set the sequence to
the correct value, then modify your inserts, etc. to reference the
sequence.

If you're on stinger, you can drop the identity attribute for a column,
and change it's generation attributes (see the alter table statement in
the SQL ref).

I have the following query that has been working so far. I modified it slightly to work from another source table (new_products). Now, SQL Server complains that the identity is inherited already: "Cannot add identity column, using the SELECT INTO statement, to table 'dbo.my_products', which already has column 'id' that inherits the identity property." Any suggestions for a work aorund?

Hi: we have column with GENERATED ALWAYS AS DEFAULT. So, we can insert into this column manually and also let db2 generate a value for this column. Given a scenario, how can i find the NEXTVAL for this identity column? We can do "VALUED NEXTVAL FOR SEQUENCE", but for identity how can it be done?

Hi All I am finding unexpected results when inserted into a newly created table that has a field of datatype int identity (1,1). Basically the order I sort on when inserting into the table is not reflected in the order of the values from the identity field. Have I been wrong in assuming that it should reflect the order from the sort?

So we're trying to decide if it's better to use IDENTITY columns or sequences to create a surrogate key as the primary key for our tables. I kind of like the identity column, because it's more 'tightly integrated' in to the table. With a sequence you have to make sure that each application that inserts records uses the same sequence. (Probably not likely that it wouldn't, but...) One thing where it seems like a SEQUENCE would be...

Hi All, I have a problem with a DB2 server of my customer. It is a Debian Linux running DB2 Express-C. I have an IDENTITY field as PK in a table and I use this value as FK in another table. Two weeks ago the FK values got corrupted or mixed up somehow. I also got some warnings about system temporary table spaces so I created a 16K page size system temporary table space to be sure. All seemed to be okay until today. Something happened an...
