  ****************************************************************
  When altering the RESTART value of an identity column in a
  temporal table, the correct process is to perform a drop of the
  versioning using the DROP VERSIONING statement, then alter the
  RESTART value of the identity column and use the ADD
  VERSIONING statement to add the versioning after the Alter is
  completed.
