Embedded SQL for C Error Messages

When developing and running Embedded SQL for C (ESQL/C) programs, you will see different status and error messages. All message numbers that are returned by ESQL/C are negative numbers.

The messages in the following table are generated by ESQL/C. Because the messages are not generated by Microsoft® SQL Server™, they do not appear in the sysmessages table.
