Software Error Codes
2 technologies · 65 error codes
Independent reference for software error codes and messages from developer tools like Git and SQL Server with clear explanations, common causes, and context.
About Software Error Codes
FixerCode maintains an independent, curated reference of 65 software error codes across 2 technologies. The software category covers error messages and codes from developer tools, version control systems, and database engines — the tools that developers interact with daily.
Unlike HTTP status codes or OS exit codes, software error codes are not governed by a single specification. Each tool defines its own error model: Git uses human-readable messages organized by operational workflow, while SQL Server uses numeric engine error codes paired with severity levels (0–25). Understanding the error model of the specific tool is essential for accurate diagnosis.
Each entry documents the error meaning, common causes, and how the code relates to other errors in the same tool's ecosystem. Browse the technology listings below to find specific error families, or navigate to individual error pages for detailed explanations and related context.

Frequently Asked Questions
Software error codes cover messages and codes from developer tools like Git and database engines like SQL Server. Unlike HTTP or OS codes, each tool defines its own error model. FixerCode documents 65 software error codes.
Git was designed for human-readable output. Instead of numeric error codes, Git produces descriptive messages that explain the problem in context. FixerCode organizes these messages by operational family for structured reference.
SQL Server severity levels range from 0 to 25. Levels 0–10 are informational, 11–16 are user-correctable errors, 17–19 are resource or system errors, and 20–25 are fatal errors that typically terminate the database connection.
