Ron writes "Our environment requires that all database changes be done using scripts. I need to drop the identity property associated with a column, IDColumn in a table, tblEntity.

I cannot find any documentation to make column IDColumn no longer an Identity column. Is there a way to do this without storing the data, dropping the column and readding it as a non-identity? I can't imagine that being the only way to script this since is is such an easy, straight-forward thing to do using the enterprise manager (but again, for security reasons, we do not allow that in my work environment).

Thanks,

Ron Kincaid"
