T-SQL Throw Exception

Question

I am facing the famous \'Incorrect syntax\' while using a THROW statement in a T-SQL stored procedure. I have Googled it and checked the questions on StackOverf

Answer 1

This continues to occur in SQL Server 2014.

I have found that putting the semi-colon at the end of BEGIN helps.

This approach has the error

IF 'A'='A'
BEGIN
   THROW 51000, 'ERROR', 1;
END;

And this approach does not have the error

IF 'A'='A'
BEGIN;
  THROW 51000, 'ERROR', 1;
END;
