考虑使用SEQUENCE而不是IDENTITY。

在sql server 2014(我不知道低版本)，你可以简单地使用序列。

CREATE SEQUENCE  sequence_name START WITH here_higher_number_than_max_existed_value_in_column INCREMENT BY 1;

ALTER TABLE table_name ADD CONSTRAINT constraint_name DEFAULT NEXT VALUE FOR sequence_name FOR column_name

从这里开始:将序列作为列的默认值

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。

我不相信您可以使用tsql将现有列更改为标识列。但是，您可以通过Enterprise Manager设计视图来完成。

或者，您可以创建一个新行作为标识列，删除旧列，然后重命名新列。

ALTER TABLE FooTable
ADD BarColumn INT IDENTITY(1, 1)
               NOT NULL
               PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED

ALTER TABLE table_name ADD CONSTRAINT constraint_name DEFAULT NEXT VALUE FOR sequence_name FOR column_name

您不能这样做，您需要添加另一列，删除原来的列并重命名新列，或者创建一个新表，复制数据并删除旧表，然后将新表重命名为旧表

如果你使用SSMS并在设计器中将标识属性设置为ON，下面就是SQL Server在幕后所做的事情。因此，如果你有一个名为[user]的表，如果你设置UserID和identity，就会发生这样的情况

BEGIN TRANSACTION
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE
SET ARITHABORT ON
SET NUMERIC_ROUNDABORT OFF
SET CONCAT_NULL_YIELDS_NULL ON
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
SET ANSI_PADDING ON
SET ANSI_WARNINGS ON
COMMIT
BEGIN TRANSACTION

GO

GO
CREATE TABLE dbo.Tmp_User
    (
    UserID int NOT NULL IDENTITY (1, 1),
    LastName varchar(50) NOT NULL,
    FirstName varchar(50) NOT NULL,
    MiddleInitial char(1) NULL

    )  ON [PRIMARY]
GO

SET IDENTITY_INSERT dbo.Tmp_User ON
GO
IF EXISTS(SELECT * FROM dbo.[User])
 EXEC('INSERT INTO dbo.Tmp_User (UserID, LastName, FirstName, MiddleInitial)

ALTER TABLE dbo.[User] ADD CONSTRAINT
    PK_User PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED

已经说过，有一种方法可以通过设置位值来破解系统表，但这是不支持的，我不会这么做

为所有没有标识集的主键= bigint的表生成脚本;这将返回每个表的生成脚本列表;
