Hi all,

Have anyone faced the timeout issue when setting a IDENTITY property of a column to NO.

Is there any way to resolve it ?

Note : The table on which I'm doing the operation is having approx 50 million records.

Thanks,

Hariarul.


I get the below error :

'TrnBillDetail' table
- Unable to modify table.
Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.

Why are you modifying a table which has 50 million records?

You would probably be better off bcping the data out and in to a new table.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.
