FIX: DBCC Checkident Always Reports the Seed Value as Current

Last reviewed: August 15, 1997
Article ID: Q151591

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft SQL Server, version 6.5

BUG#: 14759 (6.50)

SYMPTOMS

When running dbcc checkident, the current identity value will always be reported as the original seed value.

   Checking identity information: current identity value '1', maximum
   column value '14'. DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error
   messages, see your System Administrator.

The rest of the dbcc completes successfully and if need be the next identity value is corrected. However, the message will continue to report the seed value as the current identity value.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SQL Server version 6.5. This problem was corrected in U.S. Service Pack 1 for Microsoft SQL Server version 6.5. For more information, contact your primary support provider.
