Hi,
I am trying to change a PK column of a large SQL Server table to set Identity On. I do that in SSMS. But I suppose since the table is fairly large (about 600,000 rows) it runs out of time and the process is never completed.
Is there a way to increase amount of time SQL Server allocates for such process so that I can make the change?
TIA.
UPDATE: Found the setting in Tools -> Options -> Design. Set the value from 30 to 180. The strange thing, however, when I went back to the table where I wanted to change the column the Identity is Yes. And I thought that when I tried first time it reported that the update could not been completed.
