Can I use DBCC CHECKIDENT for resseding identity column in a table variable?

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)

Answer 1

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.
