| I have a table with about half a million records and an identity column.I am trying to change the seed value of the identity column to give a new value. It gives me a timeout error repeatedly. The database is local on my machine.All I want to do is change the seed value of identity column of an existing table with a half million records and foreign key constraint on this column with six tables.Any help is appreciated.ThanksRaj |

| How are you trying to do it.Have you checked the table/database to see if it has errors.You can change the seed with dbcc checkidentor if you want to increase it by inserting a row using set identity insert on then deleting it.==========================================Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.DTS can be used in a similar way.Beer is not cold and it isn't fizzy. |
