SQL Server XACT_ABORT with exclusion

Question

I have a larger stored procedure which utilizes several TRY/CATCH blocks in order to catch and log individual errors. I have also wrapped a transaction around the entire content

Answer 1

You can try something like below ,which ensures you log the operation.This takes advantage of the fact that table variables dont get rollbacked..

Psuedo code only to give you idea:

create table test1
(
id int primary key
)

create table logg
(
errmsg varchar(max)
)



declare @errmsg varchar(max)

set xact_abort on
begin try
begin tran
insert into test1
select 1

insert into test1
select 1

commit
end try

begin catch
set @errmsg=ERROR_MESSAGE()
select @errmsg as "in block"
if @@trancount>0
rollback tran

end catch
set xact_abort off


select @errmsg as "after block";

insert into logg
select @errmsg


select * from logg
