The following table lists all error severities with their numerical equivalents and an explanation of the type of error. When an error occurs or when a message is sent, these numerical equivalents are passed to the currently installed, user-supplied error handler.
Error severity levels are defined in the Sqlfront.h header file. Your program must include Sqlfront.h if it refers to these severity levels.
