Deletion And Identity Reset
Oct 13, 2005Obviously to delete all records from DB table is simple, however, I would like to make my whole Live DB pretty much empty. I've copied all my data from my test DB over to my live DB (didn't mean to but I did). I would like to remove all the data and the identity values, resetting them back at their original values. Is there a simple way or do I have to do it the hard way. That being going in and removing Identity, saving and then placing identity back on the DB Table.

Jul 9, 2004I have a remote DB I am wokring with at present. The DBA has provided me with a non owner LOGIN so I can't copy tables from the live to the staged DB as objects I can only copy tables and data.
The PKEY and IDENTITY COLUMNS get reset to just regular columns on each table. I can restore the PKEY constraint and have come across the DBCC CHECKIDENT to get the new ident value. I just can't figure out how to set a column to be an identity. The ALTER TABLE command isn't having any of it.
I am obviously missing the right bit on Books online
any suggestions?

Compact Method To Reset Identity Columns
Jul 20, 2007I have a demo database in SqlCE that I am getting ready to deploy. I deleted a bunch of test records and now want to reset the identity columns. The compact method runs fine, but the identity columns are not being reset? So when I add a new record, the returned identity value is over 1,000 even though the highest value is only 50.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

View 4 Replies View RelatedLast GASP On Insert Row In Table With Identity Field, And Get New Identity Back ?
Jul 9, 2006While I have learned a lot from this thread I am still basically confused about the issues involved.
.I wanted to INSERT a record in a parent table, get the Identity back and use it in a child table. Seems simple.
To my knowledge, mine would be the only process running that would update these tables. I was told that there is no guarantee, because the OLEDB provider could write the second destination row before the first, that the proper parent-child relationship would be generated as expected. It was recommended that I create my own variable in memory to hold the Identity value and use that in my SSIS package.
1. A simple example SSIS .dts example illustrating the approach of using a variable for identity would be helpful.
2. Suppose I actually had two processes updating these tables, running at the same time. Then it seems the "variable" method will also have its problems. Is there a final solution other than locking the tables involved prior to updating them or doing something crazy like using a GUID for the primary key!
3. We have done the type of parent-child inserts I originally described from t-sql for years without any apparent problems. (Maybe we were just lucky.) Is the entire issue simply a t-sql one or does SSIS add a layer of complexity beyond t-sql that needs to be addressed?

Insert Row In Table With Identity Field, And Get New Identity Back

P.S. Or should I pass the identity value back in a variable and not make it part of the data stream?

ID Field Reset
May 15, 2006This morning I made a change to two tables in my live system. All I did was add a new column in each called 'suspense' with a data type of bit and a default value of '0'.
When the users started using the system they noticed that the record ID numbers had reset and were starting from 1 and going up 2, 3, 4 etc. The last good id number was about 20500. The id columns are set as primary key with identity and increment of 1.
This shouldn't happen should it? Is it a bug? I never touched the ID column, just added the new one.
T-SQL Way To Reset Primary Key - Need For DTS
Aug 9, 2006I have a DTS package that deletes all the records in a table and repopulates from an ACCESS table. All's well except the primary key of the target table doesn't go back to 1.
What's the syntax in T-SQL to accomplish that?
I imagine it's dropping the column and adding it back - but since it's a primary key field, regular drop/add syntax isn't working for me.
Any help here is appreciated.
Thanks,
Peter

Reset All Rows When One Row Changes
Jul 12, 2012I'm trying to create a trigger that will clear the "checked" field when all items with the same classification have been checked.
The purpose of this is to do cycle counting of inventory, which is when you count the stock levels of a proportion of stock that have the same classification.
The checked field will be used to record the date it was lasted checked and will cleared once all stock have counted, putting back into the pool of stock to be counted.
Therefore, the trigger is suppose to count the number of rows that share the same classification as the amended row, and compare that with the number of rows in that classification, that have a date in the checked date field. When the two values are the same, reset all the checked dates to blank.
But when I tested it, nothing happened ...
ALTER TRIGGER [dbo].[UDEF_Last_Checked_Reset] ON [dbo].[ASC_PMA_TBL]
AFTER INSERT
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @PartOnly varchar(16) -- Part Number
DECLARE @Rev varchar(4) -- Part Revision
DECLARE @PartCode as varchar(2) -- Part Classification
DECLARE @Last_Checked as datetime -- Checked Date
