I have done some testing using the follwing script:alter table callhist drop column customdata1alter table callhist add customdata1 int identity (1,1)CONSTRAINT [PK_customdata1] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [customdata1] ) Is there any way I can do the same without having to drop the column first? Thanks,Carlos" |
