Question

Ok, this is probably really simple, but I just can’t figure it out. I have a primary key in a table that goes from 1-5,000. I need to manually update that id (for other table update purposes) so that it says 5,000-10,000. Can’t I manually update this column? Please help!!! Thank you

Answer 1

SET IDENTITY_INSERT tableName ON

UPDATE tableName
SET columnName = columnName + 5000

SET IDENTITY_INSERT tableName OFF
