I tried to alter an identity column in a table with the following code :
ALTER TABLE TCoba
ALTER COLUMN Id int identity(1000,1) not for replication
go

But I kept receiving the following error message :
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'identity'.

What is wrong with the code ? How to alter identity column using T-SQL Code ?

Thanks in advance ...

try it with a datatype.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.

You can alter the datatype but not the seed or turn it into an identity.
To change the seed use dbcc checkident
