Identity insert doubt

Hello,

How do I get SQL server 2000 to continue the sequence of identity
column values after I perform an insert into the table with the set
identity_insert <table name> on statement? Eg if I insert values into
the identity column with values 1-999, how do I get the next number to
be 1000? Can the identity seed value be changed if there are records in
the table? Can the identity seed value be re-set to start again from 1?
Thanks
Isaac

IDENTITY will automatically take the next number after the highest value
inserted when you turn IDENTITY_INSERT off again. Use DBCC CHECKIDENT to
change the IDENTITY seed value at any time.

DBCC CHECKIDENT(<Tab leName>, RESEED)

Thank you David and Dishan. Using DBCC CHECKIDENT worked just fine.

SQL 7.0 I have a form in ASP.NET and I want to write the values to the SQL Server tables. The tables are Customer and Address tables. There will be an insert into the Customer table, and I need to use the Identity of this inserted record for the Foreign Key in the Address table insert.

How do I get the next int value for a column before I do an insert in MY SQL Server 2000? I'm currently using Oracle sequence and doing something like: select seq.nextval from dual; Then I do my insert into 3 different table all using the same uniqueID. I can't use the @@identity function because my application uses a connection pool and it's not garanteed that a connection won't be used

Hi! I guess this must be a FAQ but I'll give it a try. I've searched the web and usenet archive and found only negative answers. But most of them were dated like 3-4 years back. Hasn't anything changed since then? DB2 V7.2. The problem: I have a table with a primary key GENERATED BY DEFAULT AS IDENTITY. Then I INSERT several rows and force their PK's value. Then I see that my INSERTs haven't modified the value of DB2's internal IDENTITY

Hi: I'm working on my first SQL Server-backend application and am already running into trouble. This is an application that has run successfully with a Jet backend, and I'm starting out by trying to just use linked SQL Server tables and not changing any of the front-end code.

I am using VS 2005 with a formview control trying to insert a record to my access db. The data is submitted to the main table no problem, but I need to carry the catID to the bridge table CatalogImage where imgID also needs to be placed. Below is my code behind to carry the catID using the Select @@Identity and insert imgID to the bridge table. No data is being entered into the bridge table.

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...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
