Reset Identity Column Value in SQL Server

In this blog, You will see how to use DBCC 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). The following is the sample data for the [student table] Table:

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.
