Severity Level 18: Nonfatal Internal Error Detected

  • 'error 5000, Severity 18'

    BOL says:

    Severity Level 18: Nonfatal Internal Error Detected

    These messages indicate that there is some type of internal software problem, but the statement finishes, and the connection to SQL Server is maintained. For example, a severity level 18 message occurs when the SQL Server query processor detects an internal error during query optimization. The system administrator should be informed every time a severity level 18 message occurs.

    Anybody have any war stories on Level 18 error messages? That's getting awful close to 20!

  • i poked around the MS KB, and wow they are purposefully vague on how to fix any underlying conditions that might raise error 18; i'm going to watch this thread for reallife experience just like you requested.
