Exception Handling Not working in SQL SERVER - sql

we have a below procedure to update/insert a table. I have added exception handling in stored procedure as below.
CREATE PROCEDURE USP_UPDATESP
#Workstationlist worktable READONLY
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON
DECLARE #rerror As int
SET #rerror = 0
BEGIN TRY
BEGIN TRAN
MERGE [dbo].WORKTABLE AS [ofc]
USING #Workstationlist AS [Source] ON [ofc].officeid = [Source].id
WHEN MATCHED THEN
UPDATE
SET NumWorkStations = [Source].wsno,
ModifiedBy = [Source].modifiedby,
ModifiedByUsername = [Source].modifieduser,
ModifiedDate = GETDATE()
WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN
INSERT ( officeid, NumWorkStations, ModifiedBy, ModifiedByUsername, ModifiedDate )
VALUES ([Source].ID,[Source].wsno, [Source].modifiedby, [Source].modifieduser,GETDATE() );
SET #rerror = #rerror + ##error
If #rerror = 0
BEGIN
COMMIT TRAN
END
END TRY
BEGIN CATCH
SELECT #rerror AS ErrNum
ROLLBACK TRAN
End Catch
SET NOCOUNT off
END
GO
When I execute the procedure with an exception (passing null to id column) as below
declare #Workstationlist worktable
insert into #Workstationlist VALUES ( NULL,500,106720,106720)
EXEC USP_UPDATESP #Workstationlist
I got #error as 0 Always . Is there any problem this way of error handling?

to me it looks like you are mixing TRY...CATCH error handling with old style error handling.
the code:
SET #rerror = #rerror + ##error
cannot be reached because when an exception occurs the control is passed to the catch block so the #rerror variable will always be 0, the value initially set.
in the catch block you should leverage the proper structures/objects to access error information and drop all the old way completely.
something like this:
BEGIN CATCH;
DECLARE #ErrSev INT,
#ErrMsg NVARCHAR(MAX),
#ErrState INT;
SELECT #ErrSev = ERROR_SEVERITY(),
#ErrState = ERROR_STATE(),
#ErrMsg = isnull(ERROR_PROCEDURE(), '(unknown procedure)') + ': ' + isnull(ERROR_MESSAGE(), '(unknown message)');
RAISERROR(#ErrMsg, #ErrSev, #ErrState);
END CATCH;

Catch the error in proper way.
BEGIN TRY
BEGIN TRANSACTION;
COMMIT TRANSACTION;
SELECT 'Success' AS Result
END TRY
BEGIN CATCH
ROLLBACK TRANSACTION;
SELECT 'Failed' AS Result
,ERROR_NUMBER() AS ErrorNumber
,ERROR_MESSAGE() AS ErrorMessage
END CATCH;
END

Code review - Transaction without begin try in procedure

I'm doing a code review for a new procedure in sql
and i have two question please:
The commit transaction is encapsulated in the whole procedure - i think it should be only in the insert statement.
If there is a begin transaction, there should be also a error handling.
I am adding the code before
BEGIN
DECLARE #paymentSpecificationId BIGINT ;
BEGIN TRANSACTION
SET #paymentSpecificationId = (SELECT Id FROM [dbo].[PaymentSpecifications]
WHERE PaymentSpecificationGuid = #PaymentSpecificationGuid) ;
IF(#paymentSpecificationId > 0)
BEGIN
SELECT #paymentSpecificationId AS Results;
COMMIT TRANSACTION;
RETURN;
END
INSERT INTO [dbo].[PaymentSpecifications]
(
[CurrencyBalanceId],
[PaymentSpecificationGuid],
[PaymentSpecificationTypeId],
[ExternalId],
[Reference],
[ExternalOriginatorId],
[EventTimestamp],
[Created]
)
VALUES
(
#CurrencyBalanceId,
#PaymentSpecificationGuid,
#PaymentSpecificationTypeId,
#ExternalId,
#Reference,
#ExternalOriginatorId,
#EventTimestamp,
#Created
)
SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY() AS Results;
COMMIT TRANSACTION;
END
and the code after my suggestion fix
BEGIN
BEGIN TRY
DECLARE #paymentSpecificationId BIGINT ;
SET #paymentSpecificationId = (SELECT Id FROM [dbo].[PaymentSpecifications]
WHERE PaymentSpecificationGuid = #PaymentSpecificationGuid) ;
IF(#paymentSpecificationId > 0)
BEGIN
SELECT #paymentSpecificationId AS Results;
RETURN;
END
BEGIN TRANSACTION
INSERT INTO [dbo].[PaymentSpecifications]
(
[CurrencyBalanceId],
[PaymentSpecificationGuid],
[PaymentSpecificationTypeId],
[ExternalId],
[Reference],
[ExternalOriginatorId],
[EventTimestamp],
[Created]
)
VALUES
(
#CurrencyBalanceId,
#PaymentSpecificationGuid,
#PaymentSpecificationTypeId,
#ExternalId,
#Reference,
#ExternalOriginatorId,
#EventTimestamp,
#Created
)
SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY() AS Results;
COMMIT TRANSACTION;
END TRY
BEGIN CATCH
IF ##TRANCOUNT > 0
ROLLBACK TRANSACTION
DECLARE #ErrMsg nvarchar(4000), #ErrSeverity int
SELECT #ErrMsg = ERROR_MESSAGE(),
#ErrSeverity = ERROR_SEVERITY()
RAISERROR(#ErrMsg, #ErrSeverity, 1)
END CATCH
END
GO

Catch error message from stored procedure

how catch error message etc "Error converting data type varchar to datetime"
and this error put in Select output
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
begin try
UPDATE projects
SET
projectUser = #projectUser,
projectStartDate = #projectStartDate
where projectId = #projectId
SELECT 'OK'
end try
begin catch
SELECT 'ERROR - msg error'
end catch
COMMIT
END
I don't need ==> https://postimg.org/image/u8mohtl9b/
Any solution?
The issue you are having is that the error is not occuring in the procedure, it is occuring when calling the procedure. In a simple example, create the following procedure:
IF OBJECT_ID(N'dbo.ErrorCatchTest', 'P') IS NOT NULL
DROP PROCEDURE dbo.ErrorCatchTest;
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.ErrorCatchTest #int INT
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
BEGIN TRY
DECLARE #T TABLE (I INT);
INSERT #T (I) VALUES (5.0 / #int);
SELECT 'OK';
END TRY
BEGIN CATCH
SELECT CONCAT('Error_Message: ', ERROR_MESSAGE());
END CATCH
END;
If I pass a valid INT to the procedure:
EXECUTE dbo.ErrorCatchTest #int = 1;
The I get OK as required.
If I a pass 0 to force an error:
EXECUTE dbo.ErrorCatchTest #int = 0;
You get the error message as required, but if I try an pass an invalid integer:
EXECUTE dbo.ErrorCatchTest #int = 'Not a number';
Then I get the error message, because the error is not within the proceudure, but while doing an implicit convert on the parameters.
The way around this is to call the procedure within a try/catch block:
BEGIN TRY
EXECUTE dbo.ErrorCatchTest #int = 'Not a number';
END TRY
BEGIN CATCH
SELECT CONCAT('Error_Message: ', ERROR_MESSAGE());
END CATCH
You can select the error message like below...
Begin Catch
SELECT 'Error_Message: ' + ERROR_MESSAGE() + ' Error_Line: ' + ERROR_LINE() AS ErrorMessage
End Catch
If you need only error message,use the below script.
BEGIN CATCH
SELECT 'Error_Message :'+ERROR_MESSAGE()
END CATCH
sample output :

There was also a ROLLBACK ERROR and tSQLt.ExpectException

Here is the scenario:
Stored procedure sproc_a calls sproc_b. Then sproc_b calls sproc_c. A typical nested procedure.
Sproc_a did a SET XACT_ABORT ON; and used named transaction.
Sproc_c raised an error.
tSQLt.ExpectException failed to acknowledge the error. The test should be successful but it failed.
Below is the code to replicate the scenario.
create procedure sproc_c
as
RAISERROR('An error is found', 11, 1)
go
create procedure sproc_b
as
exec dbo.sproc_c;
go
create procedure sproc_a
as
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER OFF
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
SET NOCOUNT ON
SET XACT_ABORT ON
SET ANSI_WARNINGS OFF
declare #transactionName as varchar(50) = '[POC]';
begin tran #transactionName
save tran #transactionName
exec dbo.sproc_b;
commit tran #transactionName
go
CREATE PROCEDURE [test sproc_a]
AS
-- Assert
BEGIN
EXEC tSQLt.ExpectException
#ExpectedMessage = 'An error is found'
END
-- Act
BEGIN
EXEC dbo.sproc_a
END
GO
EXEC tSQLt.Run '[test sproc_a]'
When I removed the SET XACT_ABORT ON, the unit test is successful but it hitches an error with it: Transaction count after EXECUTE indicates a mismatching number of BEGIN and COMMIT statements. Previous count = 0, current count = 1.
This is more like a bug report. Well I guess maybe the question is: anyone who has an idea on how to fix it? :)
Applying the logic from How to ROLLBACK a transaction when testing using tSQLt add a TRY CATCH that checks to see if a ROLLBACK is still needed.
create procedure sproc_c
as
RAISERROR('An error is found', 11, 1)
go
create procedure sproc_b
as
exec dbo.sproc_c;
go
create procedure sproc_a
as
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER OFF
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
SET NOCOUNT ON
SET XACT_ABORT ON
SET ANSI_WARNINGS OFF
declare #transactionName as varchar(50) = '[POC]';
BEGIN TRY
begin tran #transactionName
save tran #transactionName
exec dbo.sproc_b;
commit tran #transactionName
END TRY
BEGIN CATCH
IF ##TRANCOUNT > 0
ROLLBACK;
-- Do some exception handling
-- You'll need to reraise the error to prevent exceptions about inconsistent
-- ##TRANCOUNT before / after execution of the stored proc.
RAISERROR('An error is found', 11, 1);
END CATCH
go
CREATE PROCEDURE [test sproc_a]
AS
-- Assert
BEGIN
EXEC tSQLt.ExpectException
#ExpectedMessage = 'An error is found'
END
-- Act
BEGIN
EXEC dbo.sproc_a
END
GO
EXEC tSQLt.Run '[test sproc_a]'
I'm making a separate comment to answer my own question. I've investigated tSQLt.Private_RunTest. It turns out:
Private_RunTest has a BEGIN TRAN. Then it will save a named transaction.
It is followed by a TRY-CATCH, it will do an exec(#cmd). This basically executes your unit tests. For example: "EXEC tSQLt.Run '[test sproc_a]'".
When sproc_a raises an error, Private_RunTest will try to do a ROLLBACK TRAN #TranName. This will fail because it does not rollback the named transaction in sproc_a.
As a resolution, I hacked tSQLt.Private_RunTest and replaced the code "ROLLBACK TRAN #TranName;" with "ROLLBACK TRAN;".
I also added a condition when doing a commit.
I'm not sure what the implications are after doing this change. We'll see how it goes. Below are my changes:

I have to do this:

Every time before stored procedure ends. I'll check dbo.Configurations to see if usp_AsyncExecActivated is running or not.
Do I have to add that update on CATCH BLOCK and after the CATCH BLOCK?
I'm not sure if after catch block runs anything else or it ends stored procedure execution.
It depends on severity, if there's a session sborting error it will stop executing the procedure. Otherwise, it will continue after CATCH block. See this simplified example:
create proc x
as
begin try
select 1/0
end try
begin catch
select error_message()
raiserror (N'Received unexpected message type', 16, 50);
end catch
select 'after catch'
go
exec x;

Note that the error return is also handled by the catch block since code in the try block after the RaIsError shouldn't execute.
