Please provide some more details on this. Reset means when ? While inserting data or while fetching data? and what to do if the number exceeds 9999 for a month ?

Reset means again start with 1.if number exceeds above 9999 means again start with 1.

This is not a good design, may be you can redesign the table and achieve the same behavior.

If your are trying to reset the identity column it is a bad idea though there is a way to reset it using DBCC command moreover it shouldn't be your primary key.

Or if it is just a normal column to maintain the incremental number then check for the last id if it is exceeding 9999 and then insert it with 1 again.
