The following T-SQL shows how to reset a tables identity auto increment back to 1.
This may be useful if you have cleared all data from a table and want new data to start at 1.
Important: only run this command if the table is empty – running this on a populated table will result in insert errors.
ALWAYS BACKUP before running bulk action commands.
DBCC CHECKIDENT ( Name_Of_Table, RESEED, 0 )
