Resetting an Auto-Increment Column

Hello

I want to reset the indentity columns in a number of tables. They tables contain data and FK's. I have set updates to cascade to related tables.

The DBCC CHECKIDENT ([table name], reseed, 1) does not seem to work. Is this because I have data in the tables or because of the FK constraints?

Thanks in advance

I'm no DB2 expert, but I expect it's because you have records in the table.
