Question
I create a table variable with an identity column in my script, I want to reseed this column. Can I use below script?
DBCC CHECKIDENT (tableVariableName, reseed, @NewStartSeedValue)
Solution
You cannot reseed a table variable's identity column, you would need to use a temp table instead.
Depending on what you want to do, the ranking functions (row_number()
) may be of use.
