I am looking for a textual representation for severity levels reported by SQLServer error messages. I found a mapping for the error number (*message_id*):
SELECT message_id, severity, text FROM sys.messages WHERE message_id = 1205
Does something comparable exist for the severity level code or is there some list available that names each severity code? All I found was this categorizing stuff on MSDN that tells me that all codes below 10 are informational etc…
The most comprehensive list I have seen is this MSDN article Database Engine Severity Levels
Although, for severity levels =< 10 it isn’t specific but as these informational I don’t see this as too much of a issue? The Database engine doesn’t even raise these as errors.
