xp_logevent warning entry

Question

i couldnt able to make a message entry as a warning in system event log using xp_logevent

Answer 1

here is the documentation on xp_logevent (Transact-SQL)

when I ran this example (from the above documentation on SQL Server 2005 Enterprise on Windows Server 2003 Enterprise ):

--I'm not sure why they declare their local variables with @@, but this code is right from the documentation
DECLARE @@TABNAME varchar(30)
DECLARE @@USERNAME varchar(30)
DECLARE @@MESSAGE varchar(255)
SET @@TABNAME = 'customers'
SET @@USERNAME = USER_NAME()
SELECT @@MESSAGE = 'The table ' + @@TABNAME + ' is not owned by the user 
   ' + @@USERNAME + '.'

USE master
EXEC xp_logevent 60000, @@MESSAGE, informational

there was a message in the system log:

Type: Informational
Source: MSSQLSERVER
Category: (2)
Event: 17061
User: N/A
Description: Error: 60000 Severity: 10 State: 1 The table customers is not owned by the user dbo.
