How can we update the IDENTITY seed for a primary key column..
I would like to make it higher ... right now there is no data in the table.
However, It has a bunch of relationships.
thanks
Dam again!

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
