Error Handling in Transactions using SET XACT_ABORT

Did you know it's possible for errors to happen within a transaction that do not cause it to rollback? One way to handle this is by checking @@Error after each line of code, but that's tedious...but effective. In this video we'll show you another approaching using XACT_ABORT that is simple to use and understand.

nifty technique; well-presented

It does exactly what it says on the tin. It is a good example on how the SET something ON or OFF is a vital part of our SQL knowledge.

Interesting. It's one of those things that even experienced SQL developer might not know!

Mick Letofsky on 1/25/2010
Even though the XACT_ABORT command allows for transactions to automatically be rolledback, the best practice provided by SQL is the TRY..CATCH block. We have been using the TRY..CATCH blocks and throwing the errors into a logging table for quite some time. We have been able to significantly decrease the "fishing" that occurs WHEN errors happen in large applications.

Begin Try/ Catch block is common but this... Thank you for the new knowledge...*i'm still learning*.
