<h1 class="topictitle1">Update an identity column</h1>
<div><p>You can update the value in an identity column to a specified value
or have the system generate a new value.</p>
<div class="section"><p>For example, using the table with columns called ORDERNO (identity
column), SHIPPED_TO (varchar(36)), and ORDER_DATE (date), you can update the
value in an identity column by issuing the following statement:</p>
<pre><strong>UPDATE</strong> ORDERS
<strong>SET</strong> (ORDERNO, ORDER_DATE)=
(<strong>DEFAULT</strong>, 2002-02-05)
<strong>WHERE</strong> SHIPPED_TO = 'BME TOOL'</pre>
<p>A value is generated
by the system for the identity column automatically. You can override having
the system generate a value by using the OVERRIDING SYSTEM VALUE clause:</p>
<pre><strong>UPDATE</strong> ORDERS <strong>OVERRIDING SYSTEM VALUE</strong>
<strong>SET</strong> (ORDERNO, ORDER_DATE)=
(553, '2002-02-05')
<strong>WHERE</strong> SHIPPED_TO = 'BME TOOL'</pre>
