Consider a scenario wherein you are doing some operation which is generating an error sql server error severity list with Level\Severity 16 and is causing the entire transaction to fail withSql Error State
the following message: Msg 3998, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Uncommittable transaction is detected at the end of

the batch. The transaction is rolled back. Alternatively, you may see errors like the following which will rollback entire transaction: Msg 8169, Level 16, State 2, Line 5 Conversion failed when converting https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms164086.aspx from a character string to uniqueidentifier. Note: There are several more errors that could fail with Level\Severity 16. You may want to argue as to why the Severity 16 error message terminates the entire transaction and not continue with the batch. And I would say it depends! Typically, the function which decides whether the transaction would get into doomed state or not is https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/sqlserverfaq/2011/05/11/errors-raised-with-severitylevel-16-may-cause-transactions-into-doomed-state/ called as XACT_STATE(). This function is a scalar function that reports the user transaction state of a current running request. XACT_STATE indicates whether the request has an active user transaction, and whether the transaction is capable of being committed. As per Books Online, this functions returns following three values: 1, 0 or -1. XACT_STATE() = -1 means that the current request has an active user transaction, but an error has occurred that has caused the transaction to be classified as an uncommittable transaction. When a batch finishes running, the Database Engine will automatically roll back any active uncommittable transactions. The request cannot perform any write operations until it rolls back the transaction. The request can only perform read operations until it rolls back the transaction. As per our intensive research we asserted that XACT_STATE changes is not governed by a single rule and depends on the transaction state (user or system initiated and if an active transaction or not) and the type of error being raised. For example, transactions having CONVERT\CAST errors and DDL operations (ALTER TABLE\DATABASE\INDEX etc.) on failure will make the state of the tra

In my particular stored procedure, I want the error returned to a .Net client application, so it looks like any severity level between 11-18 would do the trick. Does anyone have any authoritative information about what each sql server 2008 of the levels mean, and how they should be used? sql-server raiserror share|improve this question asked Jul 14 '09 at 0:46 Steve S. 373146 2 I don't know for other versions but I was very surprised to see that with SQL Server 2008, severity 16 do NOT terminate execution. –user1791675 Nov 1 '12 at 14:48 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 83 down vote accepted Database Engine Severity Levels You should return 16. Is the default, most used error level: Indicates general errors that can be corrected by the user. Don't return 17-18, those indicate more severe errors, like resource problems: Indicate software errors that cannot be corrected by the user. Inform your system administrator of the problem. Also don't return 11-15 because those have a special meaning attached to each level (14 - security access, 15 - syntax error, 13 - deadlock etc). Level 16 does not terminate execution. When your intention is to log a warning but continue execution, use a severity level below 10 instead. share|improve this answer edited Oct 30 '15 at 14:08 Lankymart 7,18142252 answered Jul 14 '09 at 0:53 Remus Rusanu 206k25268405 The MSDN link kind of says it all -- the information was right there in BOL, and I've never seen it before.

Tripp | SQL Server Pro EMAIL Tweet Comments 5 Advertisement In the online instructions for the script that creates the TSQLTutorJoins sample database from my earlier columns, I recommend that you use osql.exe to run the script from the command prompt. To demonstrate why, I'm basing this month's column on RAISERROR and a cool trick I learned about using the RAISERROR statement's state parameter. Using a special value for the RAISERROR state parameter, you can force the termination of a complex script and prevent its execution in the wrong database. RAISERROR has three primary components: the error text, the severity, and the state. The error text can be either a hard-coded or parameterized message or an error number from a permanent user-defined message. To create your own permanent messages, see SQL Server Books Online (BOL) about how to use the system stored procedure sp_addmessage. Severity has several defined levels. Developer-defined errors range in severity from 1 to 16, with 16 being the most common and the default. However, not all severities work the same way. Table 1 shows the severity categories, how they display messages in Query Analyzer, and how they're optionally logged in the Event Viewer's Application log. To log messages to the Event Viewer, you can use WITH LOG in your RAISERROR statement or create the permanent message by using sp_addmessage with the with_log parameter set to 'TRUE'. The latter choice will write every occurrence of this error to the Event Viewer's Application log, even if RAISERROR doesn't specify WITH LOG. The simplified RAISERROR syntax is RAISERROR (error, severity, state) WITH LOG For example, RAISERROR ('Test Severity 16', 16, 1) WITH LOG returns the following error to the messages window in Query Analyzer: Error Number
