I'm trying to programmatically add an identity column to a table Employees. Not sure what I'm doing wrong with my syntax.

ALTER TABLE Employees
  ADD COLUMN EmployeeID int NOT NULL IDENTITY (1, 1)

ALTER TABLE Employees ADD CONSTRAINT
    PK_Employees PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED 
    (
      EmployeeID
    ) WITH( STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, 
    ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]

What am I doing wrong? I tried to export the script, but SQL Mgmt Studio does a whole Temp Table rename thing.

UPDATE: I think it is choking on the first statement with "Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'COLUMN'."
