I added a new row, but the new row's ID was: ID=3 How can I reset or restart the autoincrement to 1? If you use the DBCC CHECKIDENT command: DBCC CHECKIDENT ("YourTableNameHere", RESEED, 1); But use with CAUTION! - this will just reset the IDENTITY to 1 - so your next inserts will get values 1, then 2, and then 3 --> and you'll have a clash with your pre-existing value of 3 here! IDENTITY just dishes out numbers in consecutive order - it does NOT in any way make sure there are no conflicts! If

I have a large text file (more than 300 million records). There is a field containing date in YYYYMM format. Target field is of date type and I'm using MS SQL 2008 R2 server. Due to huge amount of data I'd prefer to use bulk insert. Here's what I've already done: bulk insert Tabela_5 from 'c:\users\...\table5.csv' with ( rowterminator = '\n', fieldterminator = ',', tablock ) select * from Tabela_5 201206 in file turns out to be 2020-12-06 on server, whereas I'd like it to be 2012-06-01 (I don't care about the day). Is there a way to bulk insert date in such format to a field of date type? kind
