Did you know you can override the identity value when you insert rows? Read up on OVERRIDING SYSTEM VALUE and OVERRIDING USER VALUE. If the table's identity value was lower than any inserted records (with one of the attributes specified when inserted), the next insert without those attributes would cause a dup key error, assuming you put a unique clause or PK over the ID column.

Subject: Journal entry for identity column changes?

We had a table start getting duplicate keys this morning. I reset the identity column value to a higher number and all was well.

Shouldn't I see a journal entry for that table that shows the value was changed?
