Log Out Data Management Understanding error handling in SQL Server 2000 Transaction design and error handling in SQL Server 2000 is no easy task. Tim Chapman provides insight into designing transactions and offers a few tips to help you develop custom error handling routines for your applications. By Tim Chapman | June 5, 2006, 12:00 AM PST RSS error handling in sql server 2012 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 successfully, or none of them occur at all. When data manipulation operations are performed in SQL Server, the operation takes place in buffer memory and not immediately to the physical table. Later, when the

have trigger on a table. The trigger implementation is to insert a record in

another table. If any error occurred in the trigger then the trigger should log the error to a file on the file t-sql goto system. CREATE TRIGGER [myTRIGGER] ON [dbo].[MyTest] AFTER INSERT AS declare @errorcode int; INSERT INTO MySecondTable (id, myvalue) values (null, 'hey') set @errorcode=@@ERROR if (@errorcode <>0) print 'Error occurred with error code "' + CONVERT(varchar, @@ERROR) + http://www.techrepublic.com/article/understanding-error-handling-in-sql-server-2000/ '"' Problem If the insert statement fails, for example because of a null violation, then trigger aborts and never reaches the next step in the trigger T-SQL code. IS this a limitation or there's somthing wrong on the above code?

As a result, the TRIGGER is never fired. The only way to have a TRIGGER 'catch' CONSTRAINT failures is to use a BEFORE TRIGGER.

Actually i'm trying to insert a record in another table "MySecondTable" from the context of a trigger on another table "MyTest". The problem is that when a null violation occures while inserting a record into "MySecondTable", I was not able to catch that exception from the calling trigger, as if the control doesn't return back to the trigger. Wednesday, October 24, 2007 8:21 PM Reply | Quote 0 Sign in to vote You cannot catch most errors using Try/catch or @@Error. It will simply terminate and roll back. You can do NOTHING about it.In your case, if the "INSERT INTO MySecondTable (id, myvalue) values (null, 'hey')" fails for any reason, you will NEVER get to "set @errorcode=@@ERROR". The code simply EXITS at the INSERT. As I have said many, many, many times this is a HUGE failing of SQL Server. Wednesday, October 24, 2007
This part is also available in a Spanish translation by Geovanny Hernandez. Introduction This article is the first in a series of three about error and transaction handling in SQL Server. The http://www.sommarskog.se/error_handling/Part1.html aim of this first article is to give you a jumpstart with error handling http://www.sommarskog.se/error-handling-II.html by showing you a basic pattern which is good for the main bulk of your code. This part is written with the innocent and inexperienced reader in mind, why I am intentionally silent on many details. The purpose here is to tell you how without dwelling much on why. If you take my words for your error handling truth, you may prefer to only read this part and save the other two for a later point in your career. On the other hand, if you question my guidelines, you certainly need to read the other two parts, where I go into much deeper detail exploring the very confusing world of error and transaction handling in SQL Server. Parts Two and Three, as well as the three appendixes, are error handling in directed towards readers with a more general programming experience, although necessarily not with SQL Server. This first article is short; Parts Two and Three are considerably longer. Table of Contents Introduction Index of All Error-Handling Articles Why Error Handling? Essential Commands TRY-CATCH SET XACT_ABORT ON General Pattern for Error Handling Three Ways to Reraise the Error Using error_handler_sp Using ;THROW Using SqlEventLog Final Remarks End of Part One Revision History Index of All Error-Handling Articles Here follows a list of all articles in this series: Part One - Jumpstart Error Handling (this article). Part Two - Commands and Mechanisms. Part Three - Implementation. Appendix 1 - Linked Servers. (Extends Part Two.) Appendix 2 - CLR. (Extends both Parts Two and Three.) Appendix 3 - Service Broker. (Extends Part Three.) All the articles above are for SQL2005 and later. For those who still are on SQL2000, there are two older articles: Error Handling in SQL Server 2000 – a Background. Implementing Error Handling with Stored Procedures in SQL2000. Why Error Handling? Why do we have error handling in our code? There are many reasons. In a forms application we validate the user input and inform the users of their mistakes. These user mistakes are anticipated errors. But we also need
how you should implement error handling when you write stored procedures, including when you call them from ADO. The other article, Error Handling in SQL Server - a Background, gives a deeper description of the idiosyncrasies 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 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 for SQL 2005, but I have an unfinished article with a section Jumpstart Error Handling that still can be useful.

Command Timeouts Why is My Error Not Raised? Getting the Return Value from a Stored Procedure Acknowledgements and Feedback Revision History Introduction Error handling in stored procedures is a very tedious task, because T-SQL offers no exception mechanism, or any On Error Goto. 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 so extremely tedious, so you will find that you will have to make compromises and in some situations assume that nothing can go wrong. Still, you cannot just ignore checking for errors, because ignoring an error could cause your updates to be incomplete, and compromise the integrity of your data. Or it can cause a transaction to run for much longer time than
