| I don't think you can use ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN to change the identity property (either adding or removing). As far as I know you'd have to drop and re-create the column (or the whole table). And of couse deal with dropping and re-establishing any referential integrety and saving off existing data that you want to preserve.Be One with the OptimizerTG |
