What if you were to set all the IDs to their negative, then update them as desired? UPDATE TABLEA SET ID = -ID; UPDATE TABLEA SET ID = -ID + 1; Or something like that. It is not as efficient as would be preferred, but it should avoid the problem. Assumes you aren't using negative primary keys or foreign keys...
