Reset the Identity Increment

Reset the Identity Increment
Hello:
I have a table with a bigint type column (field) that has an identity seed
of 1 and an identity increment of 1. The column is the primary key for the
table.

After I backup and clean out the database (delete all of the data in the DB)
I need to have the column with the identiy seed/increment value reset to 1
automatically. (start counting at 1 again). How does one do that, because
as it is now, the DB keeps increasing the value of the column from where it
left off, regardless of the fact that I deleted all of the data in the
table.

The DB is MS SQL Server 2000.
Thanks and appreciate any help.

I have an identity field on a table in SQL Server. The identity seed is 1 and the identity increment is 1. If I remove a record from this table, the identity sequence is broken. For example: Table contents prior to record delete: Fname(varchar), Lname (varchar), row_id (identity) -------------------------------------------------- Smith, Jane, 1 Smith, Tom, 2 Jones, Mark 3

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?

(I have installed SQL Server Management Studio, if that helps.) How can I confirm this, and how can I make ContactID auto-increment? ...
