I would like to capture any errors thrown by linked server in my stored procedure, How do I do this? eg: Select statement in sp to remote server fails if login credentials were changed for some reason on remote server. @@error is not able to capture this error and stored procedure is terminated when this type of error occurs.
Hi, I'm doing some fairly basic updates with stored procedures. 99% of them affect one row. I've jsut discovered that I can't get the value of @@rowcount and @@error to return as output parameters (if I check one, the other one gets reset!). My theory is then to return the rowcount and if it's not = 1, then I know I've had a problem. If I begin a transaction in vb.net and call each proc in the required order and check each step that rowcount = 1, is this a reliable method of ensuring no errors have occurred?Thanks.
Can anyone let me know the prefered method for handling stored procedure errors. I usually trap the error in the stored proc and then return a value using an output parameter e.g stored proc if @@error <> 0 beginset @returnValue = -1returnend c#com.Parameters.Add("@returnValue", SqlDbType.Int).Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;con.Open();com.ExecuteNonQuery(); int result = (int)com.Parameters[0].Value; if (result == -1){//throw exception}else{//do whatever}
I am kinda curious how the rest of you are doing your error handling inside your activation stored procedures...best practices says you should not rollback the part of your transaction that receives the record off of the queue...but using a try...catch block will only allow you to rollback the entire transaction. I tried using savepoints and starting the try...catch after the savepoint and the proc still gives me the error: "
The current transaction cannot be committed and cannot be rolled back to a savepoint. Roll back the entire transaction." when the error scenario is encountered.
I tried using @@Error and checking for errors at the statement level which would allow me to do a partial rollback, but the type of errors I receive (i.e. invalid data types etc) are aborting the entire batch instead of passing the error and continuing.
Can other people on this forum using service broker give me an idea of how you are getting around this issue?
Is there a way to namespace groups of stored procs to reduce confusion when using them?
For C# you can have ProjectName.ProjectSection.Classname when naming a class. I am just wondering if there is a way to do the same with SQL stored procs. I know Oracle has packages and the name of the package provides a namespace for all of the stored procs inside it.
I am trying to handle exceptions using try catch with remote database.
I am writing the following code which works fine if login locally but when I am trying to do the same on linked server its not being caught in try..catch block.
The procedure I am writing to raiserror
create proc CustomError as RAISERROR ('db error', 16, 1);
I am calling the above procedure in local database using following code
BEGIN TRY exec CustomError END TRY BEGIN CATCH select ERROR_MESSAGE() as ERROR_MESSAGE; END CATCH; GO
and it works perfectly. I am able to catch the error in catch block.
and i m getting the following result db error
but when i am trying to do the same on linked server the code doesn't take me to catch block. I am getting following error while executing the code
go BEGIN TRY exec [192.168.0.50].[BM].dbo.CustomError END TRY BEGIN CATCH select ERROR_MESSAGE(); END CATCH; GO
where [192.168.0.50] is a linked server name and BM is the database name and custom error is my sp which is on remote server.
its giving me following error
Msg 50000, Level 16, State 1, Procedure CustomError, Line 11 db error

I have an application where I am bcping a file into a holder table and then looping through each of the rows in that table to add it into the main table for the app. If the data is improperly formatted (ie someone accidently enters 39.Y6 instead of 39.66), we still want to keep it in the system, so we can update the bad fields manually and then import it into the system and keep going through the loop so that if there are 50 rows to import and only one of them is bad, the other 49 will still get imported fine.
I am putting each field from the holder table into a variable and passing them into an existing stored procedure that updates the main table. I had originally checked each one of those variables that had to be numeric or a date to make sure that it was correct before passing them into the procedure but there are about 30 fields so this made the application run unacceptably slow. I then just checked the @@Error value after passing them into the stored procedure (tried after the sp and after the INSERT statement inside the sp) to get that this row didn't insert correctly and move onto the next one. The problem is that the "Error converting data type varchar to numeric" doesn't seem to be handled by the error handling and just bombs the whole thing, so none of the subsequent rows or processing is done.
Is there any way to handle this error and continue the processing without the whole stored procedure crashing? The data entry is being outsourced to India (grrr...), so I don't have any control over checking the data when they enter it and have to do it from within my application on the database side.
I have a stored proc that loops through records using a cursor. If during the loop an error occurs i need to trap the error and write it to a log file. Error handling needs to be placed in the update and insert sections and the error that occurs needs to get recorded along current row from the cursor.
Here is the code: declare @tier_id int, @tier_desctext varchar(50), @tier_shortdesc varchar(50), @long_name varchar(50), @short_name varchar(50), @rec_count int
--Cursor for UES data DECLARE cr_ues_tier INSENSITIVE CURSOR FOR SELECT DISTINCT tier_id, tier_desctext, tier_shortdesc FROM "dbsourcedayoldprod".ues.dbo.Tiers
OPEN cr_ues_tier
--Select cursor values into local variables FETCH NEXT FROM cr_ues_tier INTO @tier_id, @tier_desctext, @tier_shortdesc WHILE (@@FETCH_STATUS <> -1) BEGIN
--Set Data Mart variables SELECT @long_name = long_name, @short_name = short_name FROM uesrpt..coverage_level WHERE ues_tier_id = @tier_id
--Set the record counter SET @rec_count = (select ues_tier_id from uesrpt..coverage_level where ues_tier_id = @tier_id)
--Are there exsisting records if so go to the update section IF @rec_count <> 0
--Update Data Mart values if they have changed BEGIN IF @long_name <> @tier_desctext OR (@long_name IS NULL AND @tier_desctext IS NOT NULL) OR (@long_name IS NOT NULL AND @tier_desctext IS NULL)
OR @short_name <> @tier_shortdesc OR (@short_name IS NULL AND @tier_shortdesc IS NOT NULL) OR (@short_name IS NOT NULL AND @tier_shortdesc IS NULL)
UPDATE uesrpt..coverage_level SET long_name = @tier_desctext, short_name = @tier_shortdesc WHERE ues_tier_id = @tier_id END
--Rows don't exsist in the Data Mart - Insert new rows ELSE INSERT INTO uesrpt..coverage_level (ues_tier_id, long_name, short_name) SELECT @tier_id, @tier_desctext, @tier_shortdesc
--Get next row from UES cursor FETCH NEXT FROM cr_ues_tier INTO @tier_id, @tier_desctext, @tier_shortdesc END
I have a huge stored procedure. part of the query is, the cursor is open and it consist of the implementation for subquery, I want to do an implementation if this subquery return more than one value, catch the error, but continue the cursor operation.
my SQL procedure part looks like:
---code to open the cursor here WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS=0 BEGIN SELECT @attachmentCount=count(metaDataID) FROM View_1 WHERE parentMetaDataID='' + ( SELECT metaDataID FROM View_1 WHERE metaDataStorageID = @metaStorageID AND parentMetaDataID='0') + '' AND metaDataContentTypeID=@metaDataContentTypeID
--error handling DECLARE @err int SELECT @err = @@error IF @err <> 0 BEGIN FETCH NEXT FROM CursorDataStorageID INTO @metaStorageID CONTINUE END
FETCH NEXT FROM CursorDataStorageID INTO @metaStorageID END
-----------------
when I execute this query in SQL management studio, it does return me the no of rows with the msg:
Msg 512, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_AdvanceSearchHugeExecution, Line 522
Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used as an expression.
But when the stored procedure is called from the within the code ASP.Net, to fill the dataset, I get an exception.
my C# code is simple to fill the dataset using data adapter in try catch block.
Can anyone please suggest how will I able to fill dataset successfully overcoming this mesg?
OK, i'm trying to do some error checking on stored procedures and amfollowing the advise in Erland Sommarskog's 'Implementing ErrorHandling with Stored Procedures' document.Can anybody help with my stored procedures and why it keeps erroring atthe '-- Create new Address Detail stage'?

Hi all,I have a sproc that uses OpenRowset to an Oracle db. If OpenRowseterrors, it terminates the procedure. I need it to continueprocessing. Is there any workaround for this?ThanksPachydermitis
I am a little confused about something and I am hoping that someone out there has some insight.
Within a stored procedure, I have error handling code just after an INSERT statement. the error handling code basically checks @@ERROR, and if non-zero, logs a message to the NT Event Log. One of the things I want to be able to handle is if the transaction log on the database is full, and the INSERT fails for this reason. However, it appears that for this particular situation (and others I've seen in the past), the stored procedure aborts at the INSERT statement. Never makes it to the error handling code. Is there any way to control this behaviour?
I really need to put in place a failure scenario, if the insert fails, but i can't do that if the stored proc. just aborts on certain types of insert failures.
I have a Stored Proc that is called by a SQL Job in SQL Server 2000. This stored proc deadlocks once every couple of days. I'm looking into using the @@error and try to doing a waitfor .5 sec and try the transaction again. While looking around google I've come across a few articles stating that a deadlock inside a Stored Proc will stop all execution of the stored proc so I will not be able doing any error handling. Is this true? Does anyone have any experience that could help me out?
I know the best solution would be to resolve why I get a deadlock. We are currently looking into that but until we can resolve those issues I would like to get some type of error handling in place if possible.
I am stumped on the error reporting with sql server. I was told ineed to return @SQLCode(code showing if successful or not) and@ErrMsg(and the message returned). I am clueless on this.I wrote this procedure: Code: ( text )

Recently I have experienced the following scary scenario;
Users report a problem with an app, on diagnosis it is found that a bunch of SPs in SQL Server seem to be corrupt.
That is, when the code for them is listed, the 'Create Procedure..' line and several DECLARE lines are missing. Often the SP starts off in the middle of a variable name!!
Perhaps entries in the syscomments table have become corrupted?
Has anyone seen this problem before - is it perhaps a known bug in SQL Server 6.5?
CREATE PROCEDURE PROC1 AS BEGIN SELECT A.INTCUSTOMERID,A.CHREMAIL,B.INTPREFERENCEID,C.CHR PREFERENCEDESC FROM CUSTOMER A INNER JOIN CUSTOMERPREFERENCE B ON A.INTCUSTOMERID = B.INTCUSTOMERID INNER JOIN TMPREFERENCE C ON B.INTPREFERENCEID = C.INTPREFERENCEID WHERE B.INTPREFERENCEID IN (6,7,2,3,12,10) ORDER BY B.INTCUSTOMERID
END
IF I AM USING THIS PROC AS I/P TO ANOTHER PROC THEN IT GIVES NO PROBLEM AS I CAN USE ?
BUT IF , I USE ANOTHER PROC SIMILAR TO THE FIRST ONE WHICH GIVES SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT RESULTS AND GIVES TWO SETS OF RESULTS,THEN WE HAVE A PROBLEM,HO TO SOLVE THIS :-
CREATE PROCEDURE MY_PROC AS BEGIN SELECT A.INTCUSTOMERID,A.CHREMAIL,B.INTPREFERENCEID,C.CHR PREFERENCEDESC FROM CUSTOMER A INNER JOIN CUSTOMERPREFERENCE B ON A.INTCUSTOMERID = B.INTCUSTOMERID INNER JOIN TMPREFERENCE C ON B.INTPREFERENCEID = C.INTPREFERENCEID WHERE B.INTPREFERENCEID IN (23,12,10) ORDER BY B.INTCUSTOMERID
END
SELECT A.INTCUSTOMERID,MAX(case when A.intpreferenceid = 23 then '1' else '0' end) + MAX(case when A.intpreferenceid = 12 then '1' else '0' end) + MAX(case when A.intpreferenceid = 10 then '1' else '0' end) AS PREFER FROM CUSTOMER GROUP BY A.INTCUSTOMERID ORDER BY A.INTCUSTOMERID END
WHICH NOW GIVES ME TWO SETS OF DATA , BOTH REQUIRED THEN HOW TO USE ONE SET OF RESULTS AS I/P TO ANOTHER PROC AND OTHER SET OF RESULTS AS I/P TO YET ANOTHER PROC .
I am trying to create a SQL data adapter via the wizard, however, I get the error "Invalid object name #ords" because the stored procedure uses a temp table. Anyway around this? Thanks.
We have a product that we were experiencing high recompile rates do totemp tables, we have re-written them to use table variables to reducerecompile rate. The problem I am having is that we have somecustomers still on SQL 7 where the table variables were not valid. Iwould like to have one installation script that would create thestored procedure with table variables on SQL Server 2000 and withouton SQL Server 7, I have been unsuccessful do to the limitation thatCREATE PROCEDURE statement cannot be in a script with any otherstatements.Was wondering if anyone else has run into this and found a way aroundit.
If you drop / rename a table and then recreate the table with the SAME NAME, what impact does it have on stored procedures that use these tables? From a system perspective, do you have to rebuild / recompile ALL the stored procedures that use this table?
I had a discussion with someone that said that this is a good idea, since the IDs of the tables change in sysobjects and from a SQL SERVER query plan perspective, this needs to be done...
Question 2
If you Truncate a Table as part of a BEGIN TRANSACTION, what happens if an error occurs? Will it Rollback? The theory is that it won't because Truncate doesn't utilize the logs where as Delete From uses the SQL Logs?
Hi, I have a stored procedure running on our monitoring server to monitor the backup jobs on other sql servers running on our network. This sp loops thorugh the list of server names and connects remotely to other servers using linked servers. However, if one of the servers is down, the sp stops after raising 42000 error ("SQL Server does not exist") and fails to carry on processing the next server in the list. Is there any way to capture this "SQL Server does not exist" error within the sp so that the sp can carry on with the processing? I am using SQL Server 2000 SP4. Thanks in advance for any replies. Opal
I work with a large and complex reporting system with several hundred reports: the Programmability; Stored Procedures node of the object explorer has become very difficult to navigate.
Is there any metadata that can be embedded in the stored procs that would create subfolders like the existing System Stored Procedures node in this node of the object explorer?
I suspect that the correct answers are:
Rename all your queries with a rational naming convention; Cull the deadwood; Assign them to categories then export them to separate databases.
Unfortunately, one of these has already been done, and the other two will break several hundred dependent processes - the recoding and retesting is neither economical nor desirable.
Still, all advice is welcome. Pitch your answers at a banking geek who does intermediate to advanced stored procedures and triggers, but isn't allowed to play with sharp things (like sys objects) - but I can probably get help from a grown-up on the sysadmin team: I have discovered that the rumours about human sacrifice are baseless, and they will perform favours in return for beer.
This is also a good time to ask: just how many stored procs and functions are you allowed in SQL Server 2005?
Hi I think by virtue of not being able to find reference to this I have my answer however.... You trap an error, check it and know that you are happy with it - it isn't an issue. Is it possible to prevent that specific error (number, message - the lot) being passed to the client so developers don't need to handle the error a second time? Ta db chucks :D
public Set DoSomthing(Set toBeProcessed, Set measuresToWorkWith)The set measurseToWorkWith is passed as {[Measures].[Measure1], [Measures].[Measure2] ...}
with the measures being real or query-scoped calculated members.
To get the value of the measure for each tuple in the set toBeProcessed, I create an Expression for each tuple (measure) in the set measuresToWorkWith then for each tuple in toBeProcessed call expression.Calculate(tuple) which returns a MDXValue.
My problem is that in order to make the code generic I need to get the real (.NET) data type of the MDXValue. The class only has explicit conversion methods ToInt16() etc which implies that the data type is known at design time.
However, if one of the measures is a query-scoped calculation then it could return a .NET double, int, bool or string.
If the measure is real then I can look up its metadata. However, it appears that if it is a formula (scoped member) then are all bets are off?
How do I search for and print all stored procedure names in a particular database? I can use the following query to search and print out all table names in a database. I just need to figure out how to modify the code below to search for stored procedure names. Can anyone help me out?

I'm taking the liberty to announce the availability of a suite of articles on my web site about error and transaction handling in SQL Server. In total there are three main parts and three appendixes.
The first part is a short jumpstart, while Part Two is a long in-depth discussion of what can happen in SQL Server in case of an error and what commands that are available. Part Three covers implementation and has lot of examples as well as a facility for logging and raising errors.
The appendixes cover special areas: linked servers, the CLR and Service Broker.
We have several jobs that if any step fails, we need to continue with the next step. Due to this we have the both 'On Success Action' and 'On Failure Action' set to 'Go to the next step'. Our only issue is that when all the steps are done we still require the job itself to fail.
So my question is this, is there anyway the status of a job can be queried to determine if any of it's steps failed?
We 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 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) + '"'
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? Thanks
