| you cant directly change identity property of existing column . for that you need something likehttp://www.mssqltips.com/tip.asp?tip=1397if you just want to add a new column of type identity the above solution is enough------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SQL Server MVPhttp://visakhm.blogspot.com/ |
