I want to set Is Identity property of a column to off and after inserting an explicit value setting it to on again.I\'ve written this query :
SET IDENTITY_INSERT
You actually want to use SET IDENTITY_INSERT Tbl_Cartoons ON
before attempting to insert explicit values.
You're saying that "I am going to be responsible for inserting values into the IDENTITY
column".
SET IDENTITY_INSERT Tbl_Cartoons OFF
says "I'll let the system take responsibility for inserting values into the IDENTITY
column".
