How To Add Identity Property To Existing Table?
Mar 2, 2004Has anybody ever tried to do this. I can't figure it out. All I want to do is take an existing table that already has values in the column that I want to change and add the identity property to yes and set the identity seed and increment to a specific number. I know you can do it in the CREATE TABLE statement but is there a way to use the ALTER TABLE command?

Not Able To Create An Identity Column For An Existing Database Table
Feb 1, 2008I am working with a table in SQL server. I have a column that I want to designateas an identity column. I am not able to do this, because the field for "Identity Specification" is not editiable.
What I did was I went to sql server, right clicked and selected "Modify".The column properties dialog box/edit grid is then displayed with attributesthat I can modify.
There are two major nodes in this dialog box. One is named "General" and the otheris named "Table Designer". I expand the "Table Designer" node and then go to the node labeled "Identity Specification" It is here where I would like to edit thevalues.
The values that are listed for edit are listed below. BUT, the problem is thatI can place my cursor in those fields, but I am not able to change/edit them.Can anyone tell me what the problem is here? and how I can fix it?

DB Design :: Add A New Int Identity Column As Primary Key To Already Existing Table
Sep 3, 2015We want to add a new int identity column as a primary key to an already existing table that has a primary key on Guid. Here is the DDL:

[Mes] [varchar](max) NOT NULL,
[PID] [uniqueidentifier] NOT NULL,
[Segt] [int] NOT NULL,

Also we currently have 3 million rows on this table. Is having an integer column as identity column and primary key better or shd I consider using BigInt?

Dropping The Identity Property
Dec 19, 2001Hi,
I have a VB script that I am using to run various DTS procedures. One of these involves using DataPumpTransformCopy to copy data from one table to another. The destination table has an Identity field that I would like to disable for the duration of the Transform.
I have tried opening a Command Object and running the "SET IDENTITY_INSERT" function beofre and after the Transform but although it doesn't produce any errors it doesn't seem to actually do anything...
I figure I need to try using the ALTER TABLE to disable the IDENTITY but I can't find an example of how to do this anywhere.. can anyone help me out here?
Many Thanks,
Seoras

View 1 Replies View RelatedReplicating Tables With IDENTITY Property
Oct 24, 2000Hi,
Please let me know if it is possible to replicate a table with identity property defined in it. Both the publisher and subscriber tables have identity property defined. Which option should be used while setting up transactional replication to allow the identity values at the publisher pushed to the subscriber, which also has identity property defined? Not for replication option with the identity property also fails. Whichever option I choose I get the error, 'An explicit value for the identity column in table 'jobs_id_nfr' can only be specified when a column list is used and IDENTITY_INSERT is ON.' This works only if the identity property is not defined at the subscriber. But, I need to have the identity property defined at the subscriber also because the subscriber should be an exact copy of production.
Thanks in advance,

Generate Identity Field On Existing Table
May 11, 2004Hi, I have the lovely task of overhauling some of our SQL-based systems. I've found many tables that don't have unique identifying numbers that really should have them. I've searched around and people keep mentioning the Identity field as being similar to Autonumber in Access. The only examples I could find involved setting up a new table... but I need to add (and populate) an identity column to an existing database table. Does anyone know the command for this?
Example... my table is called PACountyTown. It currently has 3 columns: County, Town, and Area. I wish to call the identity-ish field RecordID.
Thanks in advance!
Interview Question-How To Identity Existing Data For Updating In SSIS?
Feb 26, 2008I have met the interview question, I provide answer like the following from my experience. I don't know it is correct or need to supplement. Thank you for help.
Question: How to identity existing data for updating in SSIS?
Answer:
If you have the same key columns such as primary key or business key, you just use them to identify existing records from data source to destination.
If you use different key columns between data source and destination, you can create permanent link table which will store business key for data source and destination, and you can compare records from linking table when you update data.
