Question

I have a stored procedure that has several transactions in a loop:

WHILE @COUNT < @MY_NUM
BEGIN
  BEGIN TRANSACTION
  -- DO STUFF HERE

  IF(@@ERROR != 0)
  BEGIN
    ROLLBACK TRANSACTION
    BREAK
  END

  COMMIT TRANSACTION
END

I would now like to test whether or not my ROLLBACK TRANSACTION and BREAK logic will work by purposely introducing an error to the loop after a certain number of runs and look at the data.

Furthermore, I run these stored procedures from a shell script. So, I would like to test by using Ctrl + C in the middle of a run. Will this work? If not, how can I purposely introduce an error?

Thanks

You could do one of the following:

1. Intentially cause an error like Divide by zero
2. Use RaiseError()
