SQL Server Code Example

Identity Insert

A practical example for inserting explicit values into an identity column when controlled data movement requires it.

Example and Notes

IDENTITY_INSERT is useful for migrations, repairs, and preserving legacy keys, but it should be used deliberately and tested carefully.

SET IDENTITY_INSERT dbo.YourTableName ON;
Insert Into YourTableName (YourIdentifyField) Value (0);
SET IDENTITY_INSERT dbo.YourTableName OFF;
