Prblem With Inserting Data With Identity

Greetings!

I Have A Little Problem...

Is It Possible To Make The Identity In My Table Reset?
I Have Used The Table Already To Make Insert Some Sample Data.. Now I Deleted Those Data Inserted.. The Problem Now Is That The Identity Goes On With Incrementing(obviously)...

For Example:

I Have 2 Columns And 3 Rows..
1st Col Is The Identity, 2nd Is Some Data...
The Rows Has Identities Which Are 1,2,3 Respectively..
Then I Manually Deleted The 3rd Row Which Has The ' 3 ' Value In The First Col... Now When I Inserted Data, The Value Becomes ' 4 ' In The First Col, Becuase Obvioulsy It Is An Identity Column..

My Question Is, Is It Possible To Still Have The ' 3 ' Value When I Insert A New Value?

Or Maybe Just Reset The Table To Start With The Last Identity In The Table... Just Like With My Example...
(some Scripts Maybe?)Follow the steps
1. Drop Identity Column from table and Save
2. Re Create Identity Column.

Hope fully your problem will be resolve.

You can use this:

SET IDENTITY_INSERT TableName ON

and then attempt to insert with an identity number that has been deleted.
