Remarks
A SQL Server Agent alert is raised when a SQL Server process raises a specific error or an error of a specific severity. Setting the MessageID property of an Alert object associates an alert with a specific SQL Server system error message.
Setting both the MessageID and Severity properties of an Alert object attempts to associate an alert with both an error message and an error message severity level, which results in an error.
SQL Server Agent alerts based on the MessageID property can be restricted to a specific database. Use the MessageID and DatabaseName properties of the Alert object to restrict alert activation.
Multiple alerts can be defined for a single error message, but each alert defined on the error message must be restricted to a specific database.
