Question

I have this stored procedure and I can’t use Throw or RAISEERROR for some reason. I have to say I am a newbie in SQL Server, I have never used this statements before, but for some reason when I type them in doesn’t turn blue.

ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[del_pay_plan_proc]
@id INT
AS
BEGIN TRANSACTION
BEGIN TRY

DELETE FROM test_table WHERE [Id] = @id;

COMMIT TRANSACTION;
END TRY
BEGIN CATCH

THROW

END CATCH

I am using SQL Server 2008 R2.

What can be the reason that I can’t call the function RAISEERROR or use THROW statement?

Thanks in advance!

As per my understanding it should be like below…

ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[del_pay_plan_proc]
@id INT
AS
Begin Try
    SET NOCOUNT ON
    SET XACT_ABORT ON
    Begin Tran
         DELETE FROM test_table WHERE [Id] = @id;
         Select '' Msg
    Commit Tran
End Try

Begin Catch
    RollBack Tran
    Select Error_Message() as Msg
End Catch

By doing this, it is not required to throw any Exception if an error occurs. Control will automatically move inside Catch block in case any error occurs.
