Numbering column with a start number of 109

Hi,
I have a table as follows:
StatId AgencyID Value
1 10
2 47
3 38
4 59
5 60
.. ..
All the fields in the StatId field is blank. However,
I have to fill up the field in statId starting from
109 with increment of 1 for each row. Altogether I have
about 10,000 row in the above agency table.
Any help as to how to proceed programmatically is highly
appreciated. Thanks in advance.How will you determine what the order should be? That is, should the row
with AgencyID = 10 have a StatId of 109?

You'll probably have to write a loop to manually update the rows, one by
one, based on whatever logic you're ordering them by.
Or, you could try creating a new table with StatId INT IDENTITY(109, 1),
then insert the entire batch at once using INSERT SELECT, with an ORDER BY,
but there is no guarantee that the rows will show up in the right order. So
although you could try that, it may not work the way you want.
