Change Error Message
Hi All,
I would like to customize some error messages on my SQL box so that when i'm doing maintenance and i disable access the users don't panic.
one error is: (when I restrict the db)
Connection failed:
SQLState: '08004'
SQL Server Error: 4060
Server rejected the connection; Access to selected database has been denied
I used the following code:
use master
exec sp_configure 'allow updates',1
RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE
update dbo.sysmessages
set description = 'Server is currently unavailable...don't panic!'
where error = 4060
exec sp_configure 'allow updates',0
RECONFIGURE
But I still get the same message.
Any ideas? My next guess is it can't be done.

Thanks for the post. Most of the user access the SQL Server thru ODBC - that's what I'm trying to customized.
