Database Engine events and errors (23000 to 25999)

This article contains error message numbers (between the range 23000 and 25999) and their description, which is the text of the error message from the sys.messages catalog view. Where applicable, the error number is a link to further information.

For the full range of error numbers, see the list on Database Engine events and errors.

You can query the Database Engine to see a full list of all errors, by running the following query against the sys.messages catalog view:

SELECT message_id AS Error,
    severity AS Severity,
    [Event Logged] = CASE is_event_logged
        WHEN 0 THEN 'No' ELSE 'Yes'
        END,
    [text] AS [Description]
FROM sys.messages
WHERE language_id = 1040 /* replace 1040 with the desired language ID, such as 1033 for US English */
ORDER BY message_id;
