Fangu,
Dont’ you have fixed characters that represent Country code ? In your case, you have CountryCode varying in length for Countries. E.g, 2 chars for Spain, 3 chars for Spain Mobile..
Please clarify your business requirement

IDENT_CURRENT is used to returns the last identity value generated for a specified table, it is not used to set anything.

and you want to continue the rows in your first table by having -1,-2,-3 ….. or -1,0,1,2……

Try using
DBCC CHECKIDENT ( table_name
[ , { NORESEED | { RESEED [ , new_reseed_value ] } } ]
)

more info is on http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms176057%28v=SQL.100%29.aspx

Thanks

I have a production DB of 950 GB. It has been reporting I/O’s taking more than 15 seconds error. I tried everything . The drives are set up perfectly log and data different drives and temp is on its own RAID. It has 32 GB RAM, 2.5 TB disk space, 4 quad core processor sitting on a G5.
Microsoft tracked it down to cluster size of the disk leading to misalignment in the HDD. Is there a comprehensive way to determine the stripe unit size and determine the appropriate cluster size of the HDD for sql data and log file.

Master Data Services (MDS) helps organizations standardize and streamline the business data customers use across their organization to make critical business decisions. MDS is a Master Data Management (MDM) application built from platform components which may be deployed as an application or extended by use of the platform components to consistently define and manage the critical data entities of an organization. MDS is an any-domain hub that supports but is not limited to domains such as product, customer, location, cost center, equipment, employee, and vendor.
Using MDS, customers can manage critical data assets by enabling proactive stewardship, enforcing data quality rules, defining workflows around data changes, notifying impacted parties, managing hierarchies, and sharing the authoritative source with all impacted systems.
