# @@TOTAL_ERRORS (Transact-SQL)
[!INCLUDE[tsql-appliesto-ss2008-xxxx-xxxx-xxx-md](../../includes/tsql-appliesto-ss2008-xxxx-xxxx-xxx-md.md)]

  Returns the number of disk write errors encountered by [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] since [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] last started.  
  
 ![Topic link icon](../../database-engine/configure-windows/media/topic-link.gif "Topic link icon") [Transact-SQL Syntax Conventions](../../t-sql/language-elements/transact-sql-syntax-conventions-transact-sql.md)  
  
## Syntax  
  
```  
@@TOTAL_ERRORS  
```  
  
## Return Types  
 **integer**  
  
## Remarks  
 Not all write errors encountered by [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] are accounted for by this function. Occasional non-fatal write errors are handled by the server itself and are not considered errors. To display a report containing several [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] statistics, including total number of errors, run **sp_monitor**.  
  
## Examples  
 This example shows the number of errors encountered by [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] as of the current date and time.  
  
```  
SELECT @@TOTAL_ERRORS AS 'Errors', GETDATE() AS 'As of';  
```  
  
 [!INCLUDE[ssResult](../../includes/ssresult-md.md)]  
  
```  
Errors      As of                   
----------- ----------------------  
0           3/28/2003 12:32:11 PM
