Syntax

@@TOTAL_ERRORS

Return Types

integer

Remarks

Not all write errors encountered by SQL Server are accounted for by this function. Occasional non-fatal write errors are handled by the server itself and are not considered errors. To display a report containing several SQL Server statistics, including total number of errors, run sp_monitor.

Examples

This example shows the number of errors encountered by SQL Server as of the current date and time.

SELECT @@TOTAL_ERRORS AS 'Errors', GETDATE() AS 'As of'

Here is the result set.

Errors      As of
