It means exactly what it says. You are trying to insert a value into a column that is auto incremented.

You can insert explicit value for identity column in SQL
as
1. First set IDENTITY_INSERT ON for Table
2. Insert the vlues by specifying column name note that you must have to specify the column name .
3. set IDENTITY_INSERT OFF for Table

SET IDENTITY_INSERT TableName ON

INSERT INTO TableName
(ID,
Name,
Age)
VALUES (20,
&#39;Pankaj&#39;,
24)

SET IDENTITY_INSERT TableName OFF
