I want to find max seed of an identity column if table has no rows(i.e. empty).

e.g. if a table has 10 rows ,the max identity will be 10 in case of(1,1) ,If we delete all rows of table and re-insert a row ,the identity will be 11. In this case i want to find out identity values 10(max identity) no matter table is empty.

Please help

You can also use - DBCC CHECKIDENT (Transact-SQL)[^] to check the current identity value and change it, if required.

Solution 1

You can use the below function -

SQL

SELECT IDENT_CURRENT('ProductMaster')

Instead of ProductMaster pass your table name
