IDENTITY - cannot turn it off
I have

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[File] (
[FileID] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL ,
....,
....

I need to insert 20 records
from 'restore_file' table

Of course it'll give me an error
so I try to remove IDENTITY option
in EM in table Design.
But it hangs and and freezes EM.
I have to close MMC.

[File] table has 44000 records.
FIELD 'FileBinary' stores Binary data.


I was wondering if there is a
a short command to DISABLE IDENTITY?
