RE: SOT - Navicat Identity Column
Thanks Scott - I can see it but its greyed out too which doesn't make sense - I'll keep poking around - thank you again ++ Kevin Parker ++ -Original Message- From: Scott Slone [mailto:ssl...@rubbergumball.net] Sent: Tuesday, 1 April 2014 11:50 PM To: cf-talk Subject: Re: SOT - Navicat Identity Column Kevin, I seem remember that in design mode you select the column that you want to use as identity and at the bottom of the screen there is a selector to set it as identity.

Re: SOT - Navicat Identity Column
Believe this is how Navicat works if the table already exists. I have version 10 and can only set the identity column and other optional values if the table is new and has not been saved yet. Alternately, I would suggest writing SQL to do the task. Also you could download SQL Server Express as it comes with SQL Management Studio, which is much better at managing SQL Server installations and databases. Bonus it's free. https://www.microsoft.com/betaexperience/pd/SQLEXP/enus/ Of course this is all Windows reliant.
