Yes

B.
No

Explanation:
A transaction is correctlydefined for the INSERT INTO ..VALUES statement, and if there is an error in the
transaction it will be caught ant he transaction will be rolled back. However, error number 51000 will not be
returned, as it is only used in an IF @ERROR = 51000 statement.
Note: @@TRANCOUNT returns the number of BEGIN TRANSACTION statements that have occurred on the
current connection.

  1. overkill says:

    Correct answer.

    But I disagree with the explanation.

    WHY?

    1) error number 51000 is in the range of user defined errors. so in this case for this SP it is uncatchable.

    2) also the validation with @@trancount is incorrect, as you can have nested stored procedures. the correct validation should be with XACT_STATE() different from 0

    1. marshallsql says:

      The @@ERROR statment should be first in CATCH clause, because only then we can catch the error number.

      Example:

      BEGIN TRY
      BEGIN TRANSACTION TRAN1

      declare @i as int = 1/0

      COMMIT TRANSACTION

      END TRY
      BEGIN CATCH
      SELECT @@ERROR
      IF(@@TRANCOUNT > 0)
      ROLLBACK TRANSACTION TRAN1

      —-OR—–

      BEGIN TRY
      BEGIN TRANSACTION TRAN1

      declare @i as int = 1/0

      COMMIT TRANSACTION

      END TRY
      BEGIN CATCH

      IF(@@TRANCOUNT > 0)
      ROLLBACK TRANSACTION TRAN1
      SELECT @@ERROR

      END CATCH
