CHECKIDENT in SQl Server. First of all we create a table which named
[student table]. Table has a column named stu_id with identity property (1,1).

Using DBCC CHECKIDENT
DBCC CHECKIDENT is used to manually set a new
current identity value for the identity column.
Example
The following example show the current
identity value in the sty_id column in the
[student table] table to a value of 5. Because the
table has existing rows, the next row inserted will use 5 as the value, that is,
the new current increment value defined for the column value plus 1.
use
master
GO
DBCC
CHECKIDENT ([student
table],
reseed, 5)
GO
Press F5 to execute it.
Now to check identity value insert some data into
the table.
Insert into [student table] values('raj','97','D', 'nnb')
Go
Insert into [student table] values('Herron','57','E', 'kkd')
Go
SELECT
stu_id
,[stu_name]
,[marks]
,[Remarks]
,[From]
FROM [master].[dbo].[student
table]
Now press F5.
