SQL Server

Hello Everyone,
Does anyone know if there is anyway to reset an AutoNumber field in a table on SQL server? Sort of the same way it would reset in a local table when you Compact and Repair the database.

Update inputs accordingly
And test on a sample table before you do it on yours
Backup too

DBCC CHECKIDENT (mytable, RESEED, 0)

Thank You My Friend. Will definitely perform a test and backup just in case I mess it up.

Have a Great Rest of Your Day!

Might want to run a MAX(ID) to get the last autonumber.
Or delete the records you don't want and get the next number you want manually to use in the above.
