This seems the most simple solution. –jonathanpeppers Nov 17 '09 at 15:49 1 It appears in the docs for 2000, 2005, and 2008 so I assume yes.

You can use ROLLBACK TRANSACTION to erase all data modifications made from the start of the transaction or to a savepoint. It also frees resources held by the transaction. Transact-SQL Syntax ConventionsSyntax Copy ROLLBACK { TRAN | TRANSACTION } [ transaction_name | @tran_name_variable | savepoint_name | @savepoint_variable ] [ ; ] Argumentstransaction_name Is the name assigned to the transaction on BEGIN TRANSACTION. transaction_name must conform to the rules for identifiers, but only the first 32 characters of the transaction name are used. When nesting transactions, transaction_name must be the name from the outermost BEGIN TRANSACTION statement. transaction_name is always case sensitive, even when the instance of SQL Server is not case sensitive.@ tran_name_variable Is the name of a user-defined variable containing a valid transaction name. The variable must be declared with a char, varchar, nchar, or nvarchar data type.savepoint_name Is savepoint_name from a SAVE TRANSACTION statement. savepoint_name must conform to the rules for identifiers.

Join them; it only takes a minute: Sign up Here's how it works: Anybody can ask a question Anybody can answer The best answers are voted up and rise to the top Forcing MS SQL Server to rollback on error up vote 2 down vote favorite I am having some problem to understand how transactions work on SQL Server, even after I thought I had all answers from the documentation. To put it simply, I have a transaction at the beginning of a loong script (which gravely alters the schema), and if any statement fails it should result in a rollback. On PostgreSQL this works without no problem. An example to illustrate, on PostgreSQL: BEGIN TRANSACTION; DROP TABLE t1; -- This results in a rollback, because t1 doesn't exist CREATE TABLE t1 (c1 int); -- This and following statements are never run COMMIT TRANSACTION; Example on SQL Server: SET IMPLICIT_TRANSACTIONS OFF -- SET XACT_ABORT ON -- Supposedly stop everything on error GO BEGIN TRANSACTION GO DROP TABLE t1 -- This results in an error GO CREATE TABLE t1 (c1 int) -- This is execute anyway? GO COMMIT TRANSACTION GO Even though the script results in an error, it never aborts to rollback. And the table "[dbo].[t1]" exist in the schema. Someone suggested wrapping the statements in a TRY/CATCH block, but this does not work due to some schema alterations requiring be split up in batches. (E.g. renaming/adding columns, and later inserting data). Many answers here does state that SET XACT_ABORT ON should indeed result in the script to be aborted, but it does not.
