Severities SQL Server 2016 Other Versions SQL Server 2014 SQL Server 2012 Applies To: SQL Server 2016When an error is raised by the SQL Server Database Engine, the severity of the error indicates the type of problem encountered by SQL Server.Levels of SeverityThe following table lists and describes the severity levels of the errors raised by the SQL Server Database Engine.Severity levelDescription0-9Informational messages that return status information or report errors that are not severe. The Database Engine does not raise system errors with severities of 0 through 9.10Informational messages that return status information or report errors that are not severe.

have used 16 severities for the error? This is really interesting question so I thought to answer him in raiserror stop execution the form of this blog post so that everyone who is unaware with error messages in SQL Server can be benefited. 16 is a default severity level and used for most https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms164086.aspx user exception and that was the reason I have used it. You can get a list of error messages along with its severity level and error number from following catalog view. SELECT * FROM master.dbo.sysmessages WHERE error=8134 -- error message number I got in previous article AND msglangid = 1033; --language selection, 1033 represents US english There are total number of 10542 error http://blog.extreme-advice.com/2013/01/29/list-of-errors-and-severity-level-in-sql-server-with-catalog-view-sysmessages/ message comes by default for language id 1033 (US English). Error messages given in total 22 language so 10542 error * repeated 22 times = 231924 rows in sysmessages. Generally we have sixteen different severity level in SQL Server 2012 and each severity represents criticalness of an error. You can get a list of severity from the following TSQL. SELECT DISTINCT severity FROM master.dbo.sysmessages; Here is the brief description of different severity. Severity level 0-10: These are just information message not actual error. Severity level 11 to 16: These are errors caused due to user mistakes. We have tried to divide value by 0 in previous article and hence we got severity error 16. Severity Level 17: This severity indicates that an operation making SQL Server out of resources or exceeding defined limit. That may be disk space or lock limit. Severity Level 18: This error represents nonfatal internal software error. Severity Level 19: This error represents some non-configurable internal limit has been exceeded and the current batch process is terminated. To be very frank, I have not seen this severity practically in my life. Severity Level 20

In my particular stored procedure, I want the error returned to a .Net client application, so it looks like any severity level between 11-18 would do the trick. Does anyone have any authoritative information about what each of the levels mean, and how they should sql server error be used? sql-server raiserror share|improve this question asked Jul 14 '09 at 0:46 Steve S. 373146 2 I don't know for other versions but I was very surprised to see that with SQL Server 2008, severity 16 do NOT terminate execution. –user1791675 Nov 1 '12 at 14:48 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 83 down vote accepted Database Engine Severity Levels You should return 16. Is the default, most used error level: Indicates general errors that can be corrected by the user. Don't return 17-18, those indicate more severe errors, like resource problems: Indicate software errors that cannot be corrected by the user. Inform your system administrator of the problem. Also don't return 11-15 because those have a special meaning attached to each level (14 - security access, 15 - syntax error, 13 - deadlock etc). Level 16 does not terminate execution. When your intention is to log a warning but continue execution, use a severity level below 10 instead. share|improve this answer edited Oct 30 '15 at 14:08 Lankymart 7,18742252 answered Jul 14 '09 at 0:53 Remus Rusanu 207k25268405 The MSDN link kind of says it all -- the information was right there in BOL, and I've never seen it before.

You can find most of the message numbers in the table sysmessages in the master database. (There some special numbers like 0 and 50000 that do not appear there.)

If the severity level is in the range 0-10, the message is informational or a warning, and not an error. Errors resulting from programming errors in your SQL code have a severity level in the range 11-16. Severity 12 is not used. Severity levels 17-25 indicate resource problems, hardware problems or internal problems in SQL Server, and a severity of 20 or
