Re: Ran out of identity range

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



My problem is that SQL server identity range is 2147483647 and I have
reached 2147483600. Now I have a new PC and I cannot allocate the range to
it since I am left with only 47. How do I fix the problem? One option I
have is that I export the current data to the new database with fresh
tables. Once I have done that I can recreate a new publication and then
reassign the identity range to the subscribers. Is there a better solution?
