How the Messages Are Ordered in This Chapter

Database server message-log messages are arranged in this chapter in alphabetical order, sorted with the following additional rules:

• The time stamp that precedes each message is ignored.
• Letter case is ignored in alphabetization.
• Spaces are ignored.
• Quotation marks are ignored.
• The word the is ignored if it is the first word in the message.
• Messages that begin with numbers or punctuation symbols appear toward the end of the list in a special section labeled Messages: Symbols.

A cause and suggested corrective action for a message or group of messages follow the message text.
