Logging into table in SQL Server trigger

Question

I am coding SQL Server 2005 trigger. I want to make some logging during trigger execution, using INSERT statement into my log table. When there occurs error during execution

Answer 1

Don't know if I'm thinking too simple, but why not just change the order of the error handler to insert AFTER the rollback??

if (@err = 1)
begin
    RAISERROR (@msg, 16, 1)
    rollback transaction
    INSERT INTO dbo.log(date, entry) SELECT getdate(), 'ERROR: ' + out from #output
    return
end
