Start with clean tables
I have been setting up a simple database and now I know
that everything is working OK, I would like to clean up the tables so that the PK numbers start out fresh. My tables are all empty and I have removed all the relationships. I have deleted the primary key fields in the table, saved the table design, then went back in and recreated my PK's. When I tested this, the PK's are starting where they left off, rather than at 1. How do I start out with new PK's in the tables? Thanks, Sandra G |
