    Hi,

    I tried to execute in SQL Server 2005 Query Analyzer the following statement:

    SET IDENTITY_INSERT MyTable ON

    insert into MyTable values(3508,'06/07/2009')

    AND GOT ERROR:Msg 8101,....

    The first column is IDENTITY column.

    How to get permission to execute this statement or set identity on?

    you must explicitly identify the column names, especial when identity_insert is on:

    SET IDENTITY_INSERT MyTable ON

    insert into MyTable(ColumnId,ColumnDate) values(3508,'06/07/2009')
