Hi ,

You can rearrange by drop the column from table and re creating it.

Eg.

SQL

ALTER TABLE tablename
DROP COLUMN columnname
alter table tablename add columnname int identity(1,1)

Solution 1

If your column is Auto incremented that is "Identity" then you can not rearrange it.
cause it's a primary inseration and value can not be repeat.
