Hi guys.

I have this little question, thats been on my head for while now.

Here it goes:

Is it possible to temporary disable the Auto_Increment on the collum ID.

So that i can add a new row to the table and being able specify the ID value when inserting the row.

And then in the end enable the Auto_Increment again, and let do its work as usual?

And if its possible how can i do it.

The Table structure is very simple

Collum Name (atributes)

ID (Primary Key, Auto Increment, int, not null)

Name (nvarchar(100), not null)

Notice:

  • The table name is: People.

  • Lets also consider that the table already has data and cannot be changed.

  • The database server is SQL Server CE.

  • The SQL commands will be executed in a C# program, if its of any help.

I really hope its possible, it would come very handy.

Thanks
