• It's that easy. Just use a column list in the INSERT INTO statement for both sides to directly control who goes in what position.

    IE:

    CREATE TABLE #tester

    (IdCol INT IDENTITY( 1, 1), SomeStuff VARCHAR(5))

    SET IDENTITY_INSERT #tester ON

    INSERT INTO #tester (IdCol, SomeStuff)

    VALUES ( 1, 'abc')

    INSERT INTO #tester (IdCol, SomeStuff)

    VALUES ( 2, 'dbc')

    INSERT INTO #tester (IdCol, SomeStuff)

    VALUES ( 3, 'ebc')

    SELECT * FROM #tester
