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?
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
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 would like to transfer data from an oracle database to SQL server database 2000. I am using DTS Export/ Import Wizard for this purpose. My queries are: 1. How can I write the write the Start time, End time, data records that failed to a log file with minimal amount of coding. (I found that Active X scripts can be written although the coding is quite complex). Can I get some kind of pointers to simple coding that can ensure I log time of run of DTS and errors if they occurred.
2. There is an error log written by DTS, but this is written only if an error occurs and the details of error are not written. I am looking to log successful transfers too. Can the DTS package be modified, with minimal code to achieve this objective?
3. I tried scheduling the DTS through the Edit window that SQL Server 2000 provides but am not able to change the time of schedule. How do I schedule it?
I'm trying to get to grips with the formview control and have a problem regarding where an exception is raised if SQL server raises an error when an insert is taking place. I am new to both asp.net & c# I have put the following code in the SqlDataSource2_Inserted & Formview1_Inserted events as a way of determining where the exception is raised: if (e.ExceptionHandled){ string exceptionmessage = e.Exception.Message; lblStatus.Text = exceptionmessage;} These two events are the only one's that have the ExceptionHandled and Exception properties. I run the code with data that will raise a duplicate key error from SQL Server but the error is not being caught by either of these two handlers. All I get is a page that starts with Server Error in '/SourceCode' Application.
Violation of UNIQUE KEY constraint 'IX_reftblAntigens'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'reftblAntigens'.The statement has been terminated. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code. Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Violation of UNIQUE KEY constraint 'IX_reftblAntigens'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'reftblAntigens'.The statement has been terminated.... Is there somewhere else I should be looking to handle this sort of thing? I thought using the databound controls would make life easier but I'm actually finding it more of a pain than coding everything myself.

I would like to supress an Informational error that SQL is returning when I run a stored proc that I created. The error message returned is:
Warning: Null value eliminated from aggregate.
The values returned from the stored proc are the results from a 'select * from #tmp_tbl". Before returning the values, I simply create the temp table, populate it and then run the select statement. Prior to getting my results, I get the error message. Can I suppress it and how?
Hi there, Can anyone help me in catching @@error value. I have a stored procedure which return @@error value, I need to read that in my dataaccesslayer and act according to it. how do I catch the return value from stored procedure in my dataaccesslayer. if I am not wrong @@error return a bool value
dear friends i am writng a store procedure to insert into a two table .table 1 data inserted but when i inserting into a table2 it have some error at that time table 1 data also want to delete.give suggestions
I am writing a stored procedure that loads transaction logs to a database and I am having trouble trapping meaningful error messages. When ever the load fails, it gives me two error messages, the first one is meaningful and the second one just states that the load ended abnormally. Unforunately, when I capture the error using @@error after the load statement, it is the second error message that I am getting.
Is there anyway to trap the first error message as well?
I currently have defined a source server, a transformation, and a destination server using DTS. How and where do I create an error routine that would capture any and all errors that would occur. This would include connection error, transformation errors etc. I know the errors can be written out to a text file but I would like them written to a table on my destination server.
The DTS package will be called from an external program using the xp_cmdshell extended stored procedure. We are using it this way as a flag so if one transformation fails it will return a 1. If all are successful it will return a O. These will be our flags to check the errors table in the destination server.
Could someone tell me where this code is to go and what the code will look like. Samples would be the most help.
is there any way to do sometype of Error handling with in a Stored Proc? Example, If I have a deadlock, can I trap that error and execute other sql code or will always simply kill the stored proc?
I have a composite unique key on the audit_hub table that includes TimeStamp, UID, Type, Mailbox all as part of the unique key.
I’m trying to do inserts, and know that in some cases I will violate unique index.
I’m using stored procedure, and want to handle the error gracefully there – just move on.
Reading from text-based log files via .vbs and get back the nasty popup window.
Looks like I have it right but obviously I don’t considering how it’s (not) working.
I thought error handling would be the simplest way to avoid dupe records. Might be necessary to run the same log in more than once, and only want to add the new records since the last insert session.
Here’s what I have. It obviously simply halts and complains immediately after the insert attempt.
ALTER procedure eml_HubInsert @TimeStamp bigint ,@UID varchar(255) ,@Type varchar(255) ,@MailBox varchar(255) ,@ServerID varchar(50) as insert into audit_hub (TimeStamp,UID,Type,Mailbox,ServerID) values (@TimeStamp,@UID,@Type,@MailBox,@ServerID)
1 question: What Error-Handling msut i mplement in a trigger, who is updating permanently two tables in a database (with the follow commands: insert, delete and update) ???
I have some stored procedures that insert information from a third party plugin that hooks into our database (so I can't do any client side validiation). The problem I am encountering is that some of the fields I use need to be in DateTime format. In order for SQL SERVER 2000 to be able to insert this field, the Date has to be in the correct syntax or an error is thrown.
Is there any way to do something like this in SQL SERVER 2000
Code:
DELCARE @SomeDate DateTime
Try Set @SomeDate = CONVERT(DateTime, Parameter1, 101) Catch return custom error describing what field is formatted wrong and exit stored procedure END
I am running some bcp copies through a Sql job. I am copying 35 tables in individual steps. However, sometimes the bcp step fails to copy the data, and I want the step to fail if the data is not copied properly. Is that possible? If so, how? Any help is greatly appreciated.
I have this stored procedure that I need to add error handling to. How would I do that??
REATE PROCEDURE November2000 AS SELECT TM#, LASTNAME, FIRSTNAME, FINALSUITDONE FROM dbo.EmployeeGamingLicense WHERE (FINALSUITDONE BETWEEN CONVERT(DATETIME, '2000-11-01 00:00:00', 102) AND CONVERT(DATETIME, '2000-11-30 00:00:00', 102))
i wrote this sql, seems v.straightforward to me. It works first time round, sets the foreigh key, but second time round should error out to the handler - but it just reports the errors to the message out and dosn't seem to fire the errhandler.
Its gotta be a simple mistake - perhaps you could show me.
Can i any one help regd error handling while executing stored procedure.
Sample Sequence of execution :
CREATE procedure RBI_Control_sp as begin set nocount on

insert into fin_wh..Status_report([object_name],row,[date]) select 'Data Tranfer','SUCCESS',getdate()
COMMIT TRANSACTION end try
begin catch <b> [i need to insert the type of error in status report table]</b> rollback transaction insert into fin_wh..Status_report([object_name],row,[date]) select 'Data Tranfer','FAILURE',getdate() end catch
I am calling some stored procedures from ASP. These strored procedures have to deal with lots of deletes and updates. So i have thought of implementing transaction commits and rollbacks. But if a rollback occurs in these stored procedures, i want to get a value back to asp page, based on this value i will run the next stored procedure.
hello. below is a very simple SP i have coded to insert a user into my database. i have created a unique index for the username column on my database table. if the username already i want to convey this to my C# code which is attempting the insert. i am using a combination of TRY/CATCH, RAISERROR and @@ERROR here to achieve my aim. could somebody please look at my code and tell me if the error handling code is OK, or is it overly complicated?
AS
SET NOCOUNT ON
DECLARE @Error int;
BEGIN
BEGIN TRY INSERT INTO Users( Username, Password, FirstName, Surname, DateBirth, Email, Id_Country) VALUES( @Username, @Password, @FirstName, @Surname, @DateBirth, @Email, @Id_Country) END TRY BEGIN CATCH
need example on how to add event handling condetion in a package using ssis. my package runs in a loop. the loop creates a connection to diff servers and runs a dynamic query. i want to add a feature which would let the loop run in the event of connection failure for one server.
I have a stored procedure that inserts a new record into a table. The table it inserts into has a unique constraint that utilizes an identity column. Occassionally, this constraint gets violated due to the fact that the app running my stored procedure isn't the only application inserting into the table. Ideally, we would want to change the design to avoid this scenario but these are legacy applications that will eventually be sunsetted. My question is this; is there a way to handle the unique key constraint violation and prevent an exception being thrown in the app calling the stored proc? I know I can check for the error code and handle it within the stored proc but my app still gets an exception caught by the calling method. Can I prevent this from happening? I want for the insert to attempt again and if successful continue processing and not produce the exception. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
in analysis services when i proccess a cube i got an error that data from the fact table isnt exists in the dimenstion table for example fact table sales has column suplier that one of its row has data that doesnt match with the dimension table how can i handle this error ? can i insert instead someyhing else so that the proccess can continue and not failed ?
Hi, I'm trying to decide on the best method for dealing with errors in a DTS package. It is sufficient to retrieve Step failure information after package execution but I have tried both methods. Specifically, these methods are detailed in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/240221. Another article - http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;321525 - details the need to establish a single event sink to avoid "unexpected behaviour". I have used the code as described but noticed very little difference between post execution checking using GetExecutionErrorInfo and the PackageEventSink Interface. Using the Event Sink does retrieve one extra type of error, ie.
"Error at Destination for Row number 2. Errors encountered so far in this task: 1". This error will always give the row number as the last row in the file, in this case an excel file source. This is not really useful, but I don't want to detach the Event Sink because of the possibility of "unexpected behaviour". Could somebody advise? First is it possible to retrieve the line number, and secondly can anyone detail what an example of this unexpected behaviour might be? Finally, is there a way to retrieve a unique key constraint violation from a package if it occurs? It is only caught in the generalised way and produced as "Error at Destination...". Thanks in advance
Hello, I'm mainly a .net dev and now I want to create a TV function using the CLR inside SQL Server but I have some doubt about the error handling in the function itself and in t-sql.
I have a SP (that I suppose will have a BEGIN TRY ... END TRY BEGIN CATCH ...END CATCH) that call my TV function to get a table made of one row and 2 columns.
My TV function calls some private functions that uses .net classes so I want to handle the exception the potentially could happens.
But these expection shouldn't thrown the error to the caller SP because the SP must continue iven if there is a error but I would to inform somehow the SP that the fields in the table are null because something went wrong
Public Shared Function GetDates(ByVal UTCInputDate As Date) As IEnumerable
Dim StartDate As Date
Dim EndDate As Date
Dim rowArray As ArrayList = New ArrayList
Try
Dim GetDates (1) As Object
GetDates = Function1(UTCInputDate) 'Function that can cause exception directly or indirectly
GetDates (0) = StartDate
GetDates (0) = EndDate
rowArray.Add(GetDates)
Catch ex As Exception
????
End Try
Return rowArray
End Function
Private Shared Sub FillDatesRow(ByVal obj As Object, <Out()> ByRef StartDate As SqlDateTime, <Out()> ByRef EndDate As SqlDateTime)
Try
If obj IsNot Nothing Then
Dim row As Object() = CType(obj, Object())
If row(0) IsNot Nothing Then
StartDate = CType(row(0), DateTime)
Else
StartDate = SqlDateTime.Null
End If
If row(0) IsNot Nothing Then
EndDate = CType(row(1), DateTime)
Else
EndDate = SqlDateTime.Null
End If
Else
StartDate = SqlDateTime.Null
EndDate = SqlDateTime.Null
End If
Catch ex As Exception
Throw
End Try
End Sub
What I have to write in the GetDates' s catch block to avoid that the exception is thrown to the BEGIN CATCH END CATCH of the caller SP but inform anyway the caller??
