ALTER IDENTITY COLUMN

[gregghoush]

I need to send this:

ALTER TABLE LMSBillHdr ALTER COLUMN LMSBillingID IDENTITY(1000,1)

Im wondering why that is failing, its bad syntax, but what is the good syntax for that?

from SQL server books online (T-SQL):

ALTER TABLE table
{ [ALTER COLUMN column_name
{ new_data_type [ (precision[, scale] ) ]
[ NULL | NOT NULL ]
| {ADD | DROP} ROWGUIDCOL
}
]
| ADD
{ [ <column_definition> ]
| column_name AS computed_column_expression
}[,...n]
| [WITH CHECK | WITH NOCHECK] ADD
{ <table_constraint> }[,...n]
| DROP
{ [CONSTRAINT] constraint_name
| COLUMN column
}[,...n]
| {CHECK | NOCHECK} CONSTRAINT
{ALL | constraint_name[,...n]}
| {ENABLE | DISABLE} TRIGGER
{ALL | trigger_name[,...n]}
}

<column_definition> ::= { column_name data_type }
[ [ DEFAULT constant_expression ]
| [ IDENTITY [(seed, increment ) [NOT FOR REPLICATION] ] ]
]
[ ROWGUIDCOL ]
[ <column_constraint>] [ ...n]

<column_constraint> ::= [CONSTRAINT constraint_name]
{
[ NULL | NOT NULL ]
| [ { PRIMARY KEY | UNIQUE }
[CLUSTERED | NONCLUSTERED]
[WITH FILLFACTOR = fillfactor]
[ON {filegroup | DEFAULT} ]]
]
| [ [FOREIGN KEY]
REFERENCES ref_table [(ref_column) ]
[NOT FOR REPLICATION]
]
| CHECK [NOT FOR REPLICATION]
(logical_expression)
}


<table_constraint> ::= [CONSTRAINT constraint_name]
{ [ { PRIMARY KEY | UNIQUE }
[ CLUSTERED | NONCLUSTERED]
{ ( column[,...n] ) }
[ WITH FILLFACTOR = fillfactor]
[ON {filegroup | DEFAULT} ]
]
| FOREIGN KEY
[(column[,...n])]
REFERENCES ref_table [(ref_column[,...n])]
[NOT FOR REPLICATION]
| DEFAULT constant_expression
[FOR column]
| CHECK [NOT FOR REPLICATION]
(logical_expression)
}
