SQL

DBCC CHECKIDENT('product', RESEED, 999)

Hey! I have been told that this command can reset the Identity column value (for a table called 'product') but it's not working. I am executing it in webmatrix on a sdf database and I get this:
There was an error parsing the query. [ Token line number = 1,Token line offset = 1,Token in error = DBCC ]. What's the problem with DBCC?

Have a try with a bit different syntax

SQL

DBCC CHECKIDENT ("product", RESEED, 999);
GO

Also make sure that you have the sufficient privileges, namely one of these:
- sysadmin
- db_owner
- db_ddladmin
