Aung writes "In MSSQL7 Books OnLine's "Creating and Modifying Identifier Columns", it recommends as follows:

Note If an identifier column exists for a table with frequent deletions, gaps can occur between identity values; deleted identity values are not reused. To avoid such gaps, do not use the IDENTITY property. Instead, you can create a trigger that determines a new identifier value, based on existing values in the identifier column, as rows are inserted.

I would like to know that how to determine a new identifier value.

Thanks,

Aung."
