error handling routines for your applications. By Tim Chapman | June 5, 2006, 12:00 AM PST RSS Comments Facebook Linkedin Twitter More Email Print Reddit Delicious Digg Pinterest Stumbleupon Google Plus Most iterative language compilers have built-in error handling routines (e.g., TRY…CATCH statements) that developers can leverage when designing their code. Although SQL Server 2000 developers don't enjoy the luxury that iterative language developers do when it comes to built-in tools, they can use the @@ERROR system variable to design their own effective error-handling tools. Introducing transactions In order to grasp how error handling works in SQL Server 2000, you must first understand the concept of a database transaction. In database terms, a transaction is a series of statements that occur as a single unit of work. To illustrate, suppose you have three statements that you need to execute. The transaction can be designed in such a way so that all three statements occur successfu

However, you can read the articles error handling in sql server user-defined functions in any order, and if you are relatively new to SQL Server, I recommend that you start with Implementing.... The article here gives a deeper background and may answer more advanced http://www.techrepublic.com/article/understanding-error-handling-in-sql-server-2000/ users' questions about error handling in SQL Server. Note: this article was written for SQL2000 and earlier versions. All I have for SQL 2005 is unfinished article with a section Jumpstart Error Handling. The content in this article is to some extent applicable to SQL 2005 as well, but you will have to use your imagination to map what I say http://www.sommarskog.se/error-handling-I.html to SQL 2005. The article includes a short section on TRY-CATCH. I hope to produce a complete article for error handling in SQL 2005 later on.

how you should implement error handling when you write stored procedures, including when you call them from ADO. The other article, Error Handling in http://www.sommarskog.se/error-handling-II.html SQL Server - a Background, gives a deeper description of the idiosyncrasies https://www.aspfree.com/c/a/ms-sql-server/exception-handling-in-sql-server-2000-and-2005/ with error handling in SQL Server and ADO. That article is in some sense part one in the series. However, you can read this article without reading the background article first, and if you are not a very experienced user of SQL Server, I recommend you to start here. In error handling places there are links to the background article, if you want more information about a certain issue. Note: this article is aimed at SQL2000 and earlier versions of SQL Server. SQL2005 offers significantly improved methods for error handling with TRY-CATCH. This article is not apt if you are using SQL 2005 or later. I don't have a complete article on error handling error handling in for SQL 2005, but I have an unfinished article with a section Jumpstart Error Handling that still can be useful.

All you have is the global variable @@error which you need to check after each statement for a non-zero value to be perfectly safe. If you call a stored procedure, you also need to check the return value from the procedure. In fact, this is
facebook google twitter rss Exception Handling in SQL Server 2000 and 2005 Posted on May 24, 2006 by JagadishChaterjee This article mainly discusses and compares the features of exception handling in Microsoft SQL Server 2000 with the same features in SQL Server 2005.Basically, in Microsoft SQL Server 2000, there exists no structured exception handling. We need to dependon @@ERROR for any errors that occur.Microsoft SQL Server 2005 has beenenhanced in such a way that developers program more powerful and error resistant SQL codewithstructured exception handling. In this article, I shall provide some samples in both SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005. I shall also give explanations on both of the approaches by comparing each of them. I've tried to keep thisarticle looks as simple as possible to get beginners off to a good start. I am assuming that the readers of this article will have some knowledge of RDBMS along with some exposure to SQL Server 2000. Introduction to error handling Before going to exception handling, let us first determineall the possible ways to get errors. Errors may occur in T-SQL (of course not only in T-SQL) in several possible ways, including hardware failures, network failures, bugs in programs, out of memory and for several other reasons. We may not know which error has been raised at what moment. But we need to handle all such errors and provide some meaningful messages to the user (instead of making the user horrified with error messages that are impossible to understand). An exception is generally a runtime error which gets raised by SQL Server runtime when a T-SQL block is in the process of execution. Handling the exception is something like trapping the error (or exception) and inserting that error into the error_log table including date, error message, and other details. Storing error messages in the error_log table makes it easy to trace for future maintenance. It doesn’t mean that errors are in the table only for maintenance; we can take certain actions (programmatically) when an error occurs. Error handling is a very monotonous task and we should make it as simple as possible. Iferror handling is too complex, bugs might creep into the error handling and should be tested after each s
