SQL Server has no concept of record number. Each record should have a unique ID, typically an auto-increment integer.

Everything in SQL Server is set based (SQL statements). DELETE IN TableName will all the records in the table. I'm not sure why you need to delete everything and append from another table. This isn't usually done in SQL Server.
