Computed Columns into Table -Sql Server

        A computed column is a virtual column that is not physically stored in the table, unless the column is marked PERSISTED. A computed column expression can use data from other columns to calculate a value for the column to which it belongs. You can specify an expression for a computed column in in SQL Server 2016 by using SQL Server Management Studio or Transact-SQL

CREATE TABLE dbo.Products 
(
    ProductID int IDENTITY (1,1) NOT NULL
  , QtyAvailable smallint
  , UnitPrice money
  , InventoryValue AS QtyAvailable * UnitPrice
);

-- Insert values into the table.

INSERT INTO dbo.Products (QtyAvailable, UnitPrice)  VALUES (25, 2.00), (10, 1.5);

-- Display the rows in the table.

SELECT * FROM dbo.Products; 


To add a new computed column to an  existing table
ALTER TABLE dbo.Products ADD RetailValue AS (QtyAvailable * UnitPrice * 1.35);

To Change an existing column to a computed column

ALTER TABLE dbo.Products DROP COLUMN RetailValue;
GO
ALTER TABLE dbo.Products ADD RetailValue AS (QtyAvailable * UnitPrice * 1.5);

What are the difference between DDL, DML , DCL and TCL commands?

Database Command Types DDL Data Definition Language  (DDL) statements are used to define the database structure or schema.  -           CREATE - to create objects in the database -           ALTER - alters the structure of the database -           DROP - delete objects from the database -           TRUNCATE - remove all records from a table, including all spaces allocated for the records are removed -           COMMENT - add comments to the data dictionary -           RENAME - rename an object DML Data Manipulation Language  (DML) statements are used for managing data in database.

DBCC command to RESEED Table Identity Value – Reset Table Identity

Generally,  we are using identity column into table where identity value incrementally inserted.  DBCC command RESEED is used to reseed (reset) column identity. For example, your table has 20 rows that means last identity value is 20. if you want to reseed identity value will be 30, you can run following TSQL. DBCC  CHECKIDENT  ( yourtable ,  reseed ,  29 ); i f You reseed identity value which is below in current table, it will violate   the uniqueness constraint as soon as the values start to duplicate and will generate error. If you delete last row in current table and insert new row into current table, your new inserted identity value will be last (deleted identity value + incremental value). For example, you delete last three rows where Identity value is 20 - 22 ,so if you now insert new row,  identity value will be 23. That means seed value keep into transaction log.
