How can I insert identity manually?

Question

CREATE TABLE masterTbl (
id INT IDENTITY(1,1) CONSTRAINT pk_id PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR(100))

INSERT INTO masterTbl VALUES (\'ABC\', \'XYZ\',\'PQR\')

Answer 1

In it's simplest form, you need to temporarily allow the insertion of identity values

SET IDENTITY_INSERT masterTbl ON
INSERT INTO masterTbl (id, name) VALUES (1, 'MNO')
SET IDENTITY_INSERT masterTbl OFF
