Error terror

SQL2000 error number 8623 is this week’s featured error message. Our interest stems from Microsoft’s information on the error, as discovered by Nigel Crompton, at Bolton Sixth Form College.
‘This error is not based on any particular query construct. Also, this error is not limited to any particular database environment, to any particular amount of data, or to any particular kind of data. This error may first occur only sporadically. However, this error may occur repeatedly after the first time it occurs.’
Which, if you suffer from the error, you might not find terribly encouraging. ‘I can emphatically confirm that the last sentence is true,’ Nigel says.

Re: Error Terror

My favourite error message ever is:

"Notifier assertion botched: more than one paranoid using enumerator"

on a Sun 3/60 running SunTools
