Hi All,
Will the DBCC CHECKIDENT (Transact-SQL) command insert produce a duplicate in the identity column ?

Thanks
Dana

No, it will fail if it tries, (I am guessing your identity field is you clustered index, if it is not, then it is possible to insert duplicates).

You can use it two ways, if you use the noreseed option, then it will just give you the next number to be inserted. or you can reseed with it.
