  Hi Ravi,

    You can change the seed value of identity column by using the statement

  DBCC CHECKIDENT ('table_name', RESEED, new_reseed_value)

  By using the truncate command the identity column is reset to the seed value.

  Hope this answers your query.

  Hi Ravi,

  The truncate option wont work for columns with dependencies. The DBCC CHECKIDENT will work.
