The one line answer is &#8211; There is no specific way for disabling the IDENTITY on a Table Column.</p>
<p>There are few hacky ways to do this so let me share here.</p>
<p><strong>Option 1:</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>Create a replica blank table without any constraint</li>
<li>Transfer all data from your main table to replica table</li>
<li>Apply proper constraints like a Primary key or Unique key on that column which is identity column of the main table</li>
<li>Dropped the main table</li>
<li>Rename your replica table to the original table name</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Option 2:</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>Create a replica column in the same table</li>
<li>Update new column by a value of IDENTITY Column</li>
<li>Check the reference of IDENTITY Column and If any then remove temporary</li>
<li>Drop the IDENTITY Column</li>
<li>Rename the replica column to the original column name</li>
</ul>
