SQL Server Error Messages - Errors 2001 to 3000

A message number uniquely identifies each error message and the error message text describes the problem.  The error message text often includes placeholders for information (such as object names) to be inserted in the error message when it is displayed.  Unfortunately, the error message text does not tell you how to solve or work around the problem.  In this series of Error Messages list, we will try to provide you with ways on how to overcome or work around certain error messages.

Some error messages are self-explanatory and can easily be fixed, such as "Invalid object name".  Others are harder to fix or work around, especially by those who are new to SQL Server.  It is the intent of this page and succeeding pages (to come) to assist you in addressing or working around SQL Server error messages.

Error Severity Description

2004 16 Procedure '%.*ls' has already been created with group number %d. Create procedure with an unused group number.

2008 16 The object '%.*ls' is not a procedure so you cannot create another procedure under that group name.
2009 10 Procedure '%.*ls' was created despite delayed name resolution warnings (if any).
