Resolve an issue to insert explicit value for identity column in SQL table asking for IDENTITY_INSERT to set ON/OFF in PHP (Laravel)

The following methods to control the `IDENTITY_INSERT` to ON/OFF for SQL table seeding process in PHP (Laravel) :

    
    function setIdentityInsert($table, $onStatus = true)
    {
        $status = $onStatus ? 'ON' : 'OFF';

        $this->sqlConnection->unprepared("SET IDENTITY_INSERT $table $status");
    }

    function insertTableData($table, $data)
    {
        return $this->sqlConnection->table($table)->insert($data);
    }

    function seedTable($table, $hasAutoIncrementPrimaryKey = false, $data = [])
    {
        if ($hasAutoIncrementPrimaryKey) {
            $this->setIdentityInsert($table);
            $response = $this->insertTableData($table, $data);
            $this->setIdentityInsert($table, false);

            return $response;
        }
        else {
            return $this->insertTableData($table, $data);
        }
    }

Note: Generally, the table requires to have an auto-increment primary key to set Identity Insert to `ON`, that's why I have the `$hasAutoIncrementPrimaryKey` flag. Otherwise, seeding may throw an error as:

    
    SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 544 Cannot insert explicit value for
    identity column in table 'test_table_name' when IDENTITY_INSERT is set to
    OFF. [544] (severity 16) [(null)]

Hope this helps!
