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 (yourtablereseed29);


if 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.

What is RDBMS?

In our crucial programming world, RDBMS is stand for Relational Database Management Systems is based on the Relational Model that maintain data records and index in tables. Generally, the term "Relations" are maintained in RDMS.  In a relational database,store the data into collection of tables, which might be related by common fields (database table columns). RDBMS also provide relational operators to manipulate the data stored into the database tables. Most RDBMS use SQL as database query language. There are several objects are included in RDBMS like ,Indexes,Synonyms,Tables,Views Clusters,Constraints,Database links,Database triggers.

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. DML commands are not auto-committed. It means changes made by DML command are not permanent to d...

Identify and Delete duplicate Records in SQL Server

      S cenario: I have accumulated data into SQL Server database from three different servers (oracle, O2 and oracle) for a financial reporting. After data accumulated , we found more duplicate rows; business requirement was to remove all duplicate rows because of final data will be import to another system. For this purpose, I want to write script to find out duplicate rows from my table. Finally, I want to delete only duplicate rows not original row. Original row means if i have total 2 rows those same or duplicate, so I want to delete only one row that is duplicate. Let’s go............................ Step 1: Create a student Table below Script: CREATE TABLE [Students] (     [ID] [int] NULL,     [Name] [varchar] ( 50 ) NULL,     [address] [varchar] ( 50 ) NULL,     [contact] [varchar] ( 50 ) NULL,     [email] [varchar] ( 50 ) NULL ...
