  • RE: 50000 error executing stored process

    If the custom error handling isn't returning the right info, then you need to debug and fix the custom error handling.

    How could the CLeanup Task result in the model database going into (recovering) mode ?

    It can't. They were unrelated errors.

  • RE: passing where clause to stored procedure.

    Sure, as long as good performance is not a requirement. Those catch-all style queries are horridly slow in many cases.

  • RE: wish to know more about type of security/bug - patch/fix release for sql server

  • RE: 50000 error executing stored process

    50000 is a user-defined error. It's raised by using RAISERROR.
