The process of updating the Identity Column in SQL Server involves the following steps:
Disable the identity column: Use the following command to turn off the identity column property on the column:
ALTER TABLE TableName ALTER COLUMN ColumnName DROP IDENTITY
Update the column values: Use the UPDATE statement to modify the values in the column.
Enable the identity column: Use the following command to turn on the identity column property on the column:
ALTER TABLE TableName ALTER COLUMN ColumnName ADD IDENTITY (NewSeedValue, IncrementValue)
NewSeedValue: The new starting value for the identity column.
IncrementValue: The new increment value for the identity column.
Reseed the identity column: Use the following command to reset the identity value of the column:
DBCC CHECKIDENT ('TableName', RESEED, newseedvalue)
newseedvalue: The new starting value for the identity column.
