您不能更改现有列的标识。

你有两个选择，

创建一个带有标识的新表并删除现有表 创建一个具有标识的新列并删除现有列

方法1。(新表)在这里，您可以保留新创建的标识列上的现有数据值。请注意，如果不满足'if not exists'，您将丢失所有数据，因此请确保您将条件也放在drop上!

CREATE TABLE dbo.Tmp_Names
    (
      Id int NOT NULL
             IDENTITY(1, 1),
      Name varchar(50) NULL
    )
ON  [PRIMARY]
go

SET IDENTITY_INSERT dbo.Tmp_Names ON
go

IF EXISTS ( SELECT  *
            FROM    dbo.Names ) 
    INSERT  INTO dbo.Tmp_Names ( Id, Name )
            SELECT  Id,
                    Name
            FROM    dbo.Names TABLOCKX
go

SET IDENTITY_INSERT dbo.Tmp_Names OFF
go

DROP TABLE dbo.Names
go

Exec sp_rename 'Tmp_Names', 'Names'

方法2(新列)不能在新创建的标识列上保留现有数据值，标识列将保留数字序列。

Alter Table Names
Add Id_new Int Identity(1, 1)
Go

Alter Table Names Drop Column ID
Go

Exec sp_rename 'Names.Id_new', 'ID', 'Column'

请参阅以下Microsoft SQL Server论坛帖子了解更多细节:

如何将列更改为identity(1,1)

遗憾的是，没有一个;IDENTITY属性属于表而不是列。

更简单的方法是在GUI中完成，但如果没有这个选项，则可以复制数据、删除列、用标识重新添加它，然后放回数据。

请看这里的详细说明。

不能将列更改为IDENTITY列。您需要做的是创建一个新列，从一开始就定义为IDENTITY，然后删除旧列，并将新列重命名为旧名称。

ALTER TABLE (yourTable) ADD NewColumn INT IDENTITY(1,1)

ALTER TABLE (yourTable) DROP COLUMN OldColumnName

EXEC sp_rename 'yourTable.NewColumn', 'OldColumnName', 'COLUMN'

As I understood in normal cases we are creating a table with Primary key which is having Identity property So Rename or Delete a column which is associated with Primary Key constraint will not be possible because constraint Rules are validating column structure. Tto achieve this we have to process some steps in the following way: Let us assume TableName = 'Employee' and ColumnName = 'EmployeeId' 1. Add new column 'EmployeeId_new' in the 'Employee' table ALTER TABLE Employee ADD EmployeeId_new INT IDENTITY(1,1)

Now remove column 'EmployeeId' from 'Employee' table ALTER TABLE Employee DROP COLUMN EmployeeId This will throw error because of Primary Key Constraint rules are applicable and validating column structure. *### 'Msg 5074, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 The object [PK_dbo.Employee] is dependent on colmn [EmployeeId].'### So we have to remove the Primary Key constraint first from the table 'Employee' then we can remove the column ALTER TABLE Employee DROP constraint [PK_dbo.Employee] Now we can remove the column 'EmployeeId' from 'Employee' table as did in the previous step where we got error ALTER TABLE Employee DROP COLUMN EmployeeId Now Column 'EmployeeId' removed from table So we will Rename the newly added new column 'EmployeeId_new' with 'EmployeeId' sp_rename 'Employee.EmployeeId', 'EmployeeId_new', 'COLUMN' To rearrange the table in the same form as It was, we have to add Primary Key Constraint for the column 'EmployeeId' ALTER TABLE Employee add constraint [PK_dbo.Employee] primary key (EmployeeId)

8. 现在，带有'EmployeeId'的表'Employee'随着现有的主键约束被修改为Identity规则

在对象资源管理器中右键单击表名。你会得到一些选择。点击“设计”。将为该表打开一个新选项卡。您可以在“列属性”中添加标识约束。

这里有一个很酷的解决方案: 在列上添加或删除标识属性

简而言之，在SQL管理器中手动编辑您的表，切换标识，不要保存更改，只显示将为更改创建的脚本，复制它并稍后使用。

这节省了大量的时间，因为它(脚本)包含了所有与您更改的表相关的外键、索引等。手动写这个…上帝保佑。
