SQL Anywhere autoincrement reset

Question

I've got a SQL Anywhere 9 database, and I would like to reset the autoincrement value on one of my columns to a specific number.

I guess I need the SQL-Anywhere equivalent of:

ALTER TABLE foo AUTO_INCREMENT =100

Answer 1

Just so the answer is actually here, not just linked to:

Use the sa_reset_identity system procedure:

sa_reset_identity (
  [ table_name
  [, owner
  [, new_identity_value ] ] ]
)

Answer 2

A google search turned up this. I have never used SQL Anywhere, so I'm afraid I can't help anymore.

Answer 3

The correct system procedure is sa_reset_identity

CALL sa_reset_identity('table_name', 'user_name', new_start_value -1);

For example, you have a table called CITIES, a user DBA and you want the autoincrement to start with value 1. Your code would be:

CALL sa_reset_identity('cities', 'DBA', 0);
