| I am trying to insert a new row into a table that has an identity set on the id. The table is called Groups and my query is:USE TEST INSERT INTO Groups (GroupId,GroupName) VALUES ('9','TEST')But because the GroupID is an identity it gives me the following error:Cannot insert explicit value for identity column in table 'Groups' when IDENTITY_INSERT is set to OFF.Is there a way to bypass this or turn it on and turn it back off? I am running this across many DB's and I want each DB to have the same GroupID/Name |
