You tried to issue an INSERT query, in which you included the identity column (identity column is auto-generated, so if you want to specify the identity value while you insert new rows, database system has to be tweaked). But, most of the time, you do not need to set the identity yourself when you insert; let the database engine do what it has been made for.

Solution is:

- Strip off the identity column from your insert query

OR

- Make this column a non-identity one (you will then loose the auto-generation feature)
