SQL Server Error Code 50000 is a user-defined error generated through the RAISERROR or THROW statement in stored procedures, triggers, or functions. It is not a system error but a custom message created by developers to handle specific logic or data validation scenarios. When this error appears, it’s typically due to invalid inputs, blocked operations, or failed conditions within business logic. Here's how to fix it:
Identify the Error Source:
Use SQL Profiler or Extended Events to trace where the error is being raised. Determine whether it’s from a trigger, stored procedure, or specific function.
Review the Code Logic:
Open the stored procedure or function in SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) and look for RAISERROR or THROW statements. Understand what conditions trigger the error.
Check Input Parameters:
Ensure the input data passed into the procedure or function meets all validation rules — like correct data types, ranges, or business logic requirements.
Evaluate Triggers:
Run the query SELECT * FROM sys.triggers to list active triggers. Disable them temporarily using DISABLE TRIGGER if they’re suspected of causing the error during transactions.
Verify Permissions:
Lack of required permissions can cause this error. Ensure the executing user has proper EXECUTE rights using:
GRANT EXECUTE ON [ProcedureName] TO [UserName];
Use a Recovery Tool (If Corruption Suspected): If the error occurs during backup or restore, and corruption is suspected, use Aryson SQL Backup Recovery. It can repair MDF/NDF files, restore deleted items, and recover data with integrity.
