SQL Azure – Reset Primary Key Identity/Index to Zero after Deleting all records

I was faced with a situation where I needed to set up an index for widgets but I wanted those to start at zero. I made some attempts to import information and deleted those records from the table several times and was faced with a situation where users might see the index occasionally. As a result I wanted the index to start from 1 and at least at the start go up to the approximate number of widgets.

Its a quick search using google to get this but wanted to reset the identity on a blank table.

In SSMS / navigate to the database and open a new query window

DBCC CHECKIDENT (dbo.t001table, RESEED,0);
GO

Chrome UPDATE – Running a web site in Application mode using a BAT file

I’m running Google Version 84.0.4147.135 (Official build) (64-bit) and last week I noticed that Chrome seemed to update the way you create applications on the desktop. And when setting up new applications there seems to be an ugly introduction of the URL sometimes. Annoying.

I found a source that indicated that you could run a website in application mode by running the following at command line.
This results in a really nice chrome window with your chosen web site within it.

start Chrome.exe --app=https://bbc.co.uk

So I went old school to get a link on desktop!

The good old bat file

@ECHO OFF
start Chrome.exe --app=https://lindoresproduction.azurewebsites.net
