I ran DBCC CheckIdent (<table>, reseed, 1000) on a table to reseed its identity. This was returned:
"Checking identity information: current identity value 'NULL', current column value '1000'.
a. Current identity value 'NULL' : I don't understand this as the current identity value of that column is set to 1000 with an increment of 1 (from SSMS)
b. Current column value '1000': does this mean the identity of the next record inserted will be 1000 + 1 ?
The terminology seems confusing to me. Any help appreciated.
TIA,
